Oh, Coward!, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1978 Summer Theatre

A compilation of the words and music by the master of wit, Noel Coward. An international theatrical personality for over 50 years who wrote and starred in over a score of plays and eleven musicals. Nostalgia interspersed with insight into the humorous side of life leaves an audience humming the memorable melodies and hilarious lyrics. Songs like “Mad Dogs and Englishmen,” “Mrs. Worthington,” “Someday I’ll Find You” and “The Stately Homes of England.”

The Gazebo, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1978 Summer Theatre

Broadway hit comedy-melodrama — the story revolves around a writer of TV “whodunits and whyzits” who is always looking for a “new twist,” especially from his district attorney friend. Comedy is the inevitable result when he is forced to protect his beautiful wife from a blackmailer. A gazebo suddenly gets a “new use” during installation and the “new twist” becomes very real. Guaranteed entertainment for the family.

A Visual Concept For Robinson Jeffers' Adaptation Of Euripides' Medea, H. Kevin Lanham

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The theatrical elements of setting, costumes, and make-up for Robinson Jeffers' adaptation of Euripides' Medea were designed and constructed in an attempt to create an effective visual concept. Through careful script analysis and close communication with the director and production staff, the designer combined the visual elements. As a record of the concept development from generalities to rough sketches and from formal drawings and diagrams to the finished product, the designer uses the accounting to trace both the artistic creation and the physical construction of each set element and costume for Medea.
