With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.

The Merry Wives of Windsor A story of LUST, GREED, and DIRTY LAUNDRY
By William Shakespeare, adapted by Daniel Gordon.
Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor uses more prose than any of his other plays, for indeed, these characters are simple folk. His setting of the countryside of Windsor also offers clues to how I might interpret this play for a South Carolina audience. To reinforce the tight-knit community or provincial common folk that is wary of outsiders, I set this production in a southern trailer park. The script and rhythms fit remarkably well with a southern twang. Knowing the …

Through A Glass Darkly: Defining Love In A Nation Of Tolerance, Jonathan T. Hogue
Senior Honors Theses
This paper features an original one-act drama Through a Glass Darkly and analyzes its constructs and themes. The play, written in the contemporary style, depicts the tension between homosexuals and Christians in American culture through emphasizing the contrasting interpretations of love between both communities. It tells the story of Ben, a young gay man struggling to find fulfillment, whose new-found friendship with a Christian named Adam causes him to reevaluate his understanding of love. The play explores the variations of love in an attempt to not only answer what love truly means, but rather what form of love carries the …

Using Solo Drama To Make The Teaching Of Social Studies Engaging For Students, Michael Kemeh
Using Solo Drama To Make The Teaching Of Social Studies Engaging For Students, Michael Kemeh
Faculty Scholarship
Social studies is a major subject taught in schools in the United States. Research shows lack of interest in the subject by most school children. The author reflects on how he prepares teachers in a graduate drama course to use solo drama as another instructional option to address the problem. The paper also examines integrated solo drama projects by four students in their respective classrooms as case studies. The findings are synthesized to demonstrate the efficacy of this drama strategy for classroom teachers and teacher educators to adopt in making social studies meaningful and engaging for learners.

Presidential Fellows Articles and Research
Dans cet article, je présente en détail l’exercice d’incorporation animale tel qu’il a été proposé par Lee Strasberg et est enseigné aux acteurs qui apprennent la méthode de l’Actors Studio. L’exercice est détaillé de telle sorte qu’une personne lisant cette description puisse le pratiquer elle-même. La première visée de cet article est donc didactique. Cet exercice est ensuite mis en perspective dans le cadre du travail d’un acteur, d’un metteur en scène, ou d’un coach d’acteur. Je montre comment l’utiliser concrètement dans un travail de construction de personnage. Je fais pour finir un lien entre la pratique de l’incorporation animale …
