Our Town, Diane C. Merchant, Jonathan R. Sabo, Rebekah Priebe, Tim Phipps

Theatre Productions

Our Town by Thornton Wilder is considered a classic of American theatre as it portrays life in small town Grover's Corners, New Hampshire at the turn of the last century. In scenes of daily life that capture the poetic beauty of the everyday, the play celebrates family, faith, and the daily miracles that happen all around us, if we are just attuned to see them.

Fitz Hall’s Black Box Theatre & Live-Streamed

The night after a queer bar outside of Tampa, Florida is vandalized, three twenty-something bartenders gather to grieve, rage, and above all, piece together the events of the night before. Fiery and poetic, Laced ferociously celebrates the spaces in which we find our truest selves. In a time of renewed culture wars against queer youth, this play centers the voices of those intersectional identities we should be listening to now.

The Use Of 19th Century Hairstyling, Techniques, And Products For Theatrical Production, Shelby Hazel

Theatre Arts Posters and Presentations

Trendy hairstyles and hairstyling techniques have been around for centuries, but have you ever wondered what getting ready in the morning was like for an upper-class woman in the 19^th century? These women would spend time getting ready for the day in their dressing room or toilette, where they would pomade, powder, and decorate their hair with elaborate curls and ornaments. A popular style of the 1830s was the a la Chinoise (ah la shen-wahs’). This hairstyle included parting the hair in the middle and pulling it smoothly to the temples where it was arranged in hanging sausage-shaped curls, …

Thomas Middleton And The Plural Politics Of Jacobean Drama, Mark Kaethler

Late Tudor and Stuart Drama

Thomas Middleton and the Plural Politics of Jacobean Drama represents the first sustained study of Middleton's dramatic works as responses to James I's governance. Through examining Middleton’s poiesis in relation to the political theology of Jacobean London, Kaethler explores early forms of free speech, namely parrhēsia, and rhetorical devices, such as irony and allegory, to elucidate the ways in which Middleton’s plural art exposes the limitations of the monarch’s sovereign image. By drawing upon earlier forms of dramatic intervention, James’s writings, and popular literature that blossomed during the Jacobean period, including news pamphlets, the book surveys a selection of …

Henrietta Leavitt is excited to land a job at the prestigious Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s. Once on the job, she soon realizes she was not hired to be an astronomer, but to serve with a group of female “computers” who merely chart the stars for a man who thinks women are not worthy to be astronomers. Henrietta persists in making her mark within the astronomical society, but finds as she measures the light and distance of stars that she must also take measure of her life on Earth. As a result, she has to choose between her dedication …

Convents And Novices In Early Modern English Dramatic Works: In Medias Res, Vanessa L. Rapatz

Late Tudor and Stuart Drama

Convents and Novices in Early Modern English Dramatic Texts: In Medias Res attends to the religious, social, and material changes in England during the century following the Reformation, specifically examining how the English came to terms with the meanings of convents and novices even after they disappeared from the physical and social landscape. In five chapters, it traces convents and novices across a range of dramatic texts that refuse easy generic classification: problem plays such as Shakespeare's Measure for Measure; Marlowe's comic tragedy The Jew of Malta; Margaret Cavendish's closet dramas The Convent of Pleasure and The Religious …
