Students Honor Shakespeare With Festival “Happy birthday, William Shakespeare. Rut how do you pay tribute to a man to whom every conceivable tribute has l een paid?

He clothed his actors in simple black costumes. “We wanted pure acting without the distraction of colorful scenery and costumes. In this way, the scenes were between Shakespeare and us.” said Mr. Parker. The actors in The Shakespeare Scene Festival were Ross Ahti and Laurie Rosen in Taming of the Shrew, Pam Smith and Willie Lauder in King Isar, Curtis Pinck in llnmlet, Dave Ashley, Boh Persson. Tom Kuehn. Gary Rosen. Steve Goldstein, and Boh Allen in Midsummer Sight's Dream, Julie Tarshish and Sharon Olson in Othello, and Patti Berg. Lonnie Javinskv, and Mary Wirth in Macbeth.
