The hapless haberdasher gives Grumio a look of bewilderment. KATHARINE: “Gentlewomen wear such caps as these.” Katharine proudly shows her family and friends that Petruch- io’s rough treatment has tamed her shrew- ish nature. PETRUCHIO: “When you are gentle, you shall have one too — and not till then!” 15

“Not of an age, but for all time,’ wrote Ben Johnson of William Shakespeare’s plays. From his own time until the present, Shakespeare’s plays have captured the imaginations of the aristocrat and the laborer, the scholar and the uneducated. When one speaks of ‘‘the Bard,’ there never is any doubt about who is meant: it is Shakespeare, whom Wil- liam Carlos Williams once called ‘“‘th e greatest university of all.” The winter drama produc- tion, Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,”’ proved to be a romantically funny play that TWO CONFLICTING VIEWS OF LOVE — violence (above), and charm (right). Taming of the Shrew delighted audiences with its occasional violence’ and tongue-in-cheek humor. The Drama Department undertook a massive ‘‘Shake- speare Is Not Boring!” publicity campaign that included flyers, posters, buttons, and Eliza- bethan workshops for students. The purpose of this publicity blitz: to destroy the age-old myth that Shakespeare was an ancient playwright who used archaic, unintelligible English language. The publicity cam- paign, and the show itself, proved to be highly successful. PLAYERS Baptistia®. 2. eee Kevin Hall Lucentio.aa. Gh. ae eee Jack Spencer Petruchio.

The musical “Oliver!” is the purest distillation of Charles Dickens’ genius. This story of an orphan who is reared in a workhouse, runs away to Lon- don, falls into the midst of thieves, and finally escapes, is a story of social protest, a moral- ity tale, and a detective story. “Oliver!” presents some of the most sinister characters in all of Dickens’ works: the master thief Fagin; the skilled Artful Dodger; the murderer Bill Sykes. Only Dickens could mix terror with comedy, pity with piety, in one unified work. Only Dickens could give us night- mare and daydream together as one small boy searches for love. Right: Fagin welcomes Artful Dodger back from a day on the streets of Lon- don. Below Left: Mrs. Sowerberry terrifies Oliver. Below Right: Bill Sykes and Nancy receive the adulation of the crowd. “Oliver!” Cast of “Oliver!”’ Oliver Twist 926 zo Saal oie eke ee ae John Wakefield Fagin iiiad eink sc aipesial wee yard ea a John Fechino Artful Dodgers. 40 shcdy ee John Green Bill Sykes’, d. uiceee: dhe wee eee ee Doug Mumaw NanGyn fattivie dace ieee ee eae eee ee Kim Mercure il co Ane ee wl Ce A RE A Oe Kathy Nowland Mr. Bumible..
