Twelfth Night played by Gary Stanek, reads the “love letter’ he believes is from Olivia. Shakespeare’s memorable Twelfth Night was presented by the Purdue Calumet Theater Company as its first offering of the second semes- ter. Theater-goers viewed the per- formance on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, March 25, 26, and 27th. The plot revolves around the Duke Orsino’s attempt to win the hand of Olivia. Viola disguises herself as a man in order to serve Orsino and even- tually falls in love with him. While Viola carries messages to Olivia from Orsino, Olivia falls in love with Viola. Sebastian, Viola’s twin brother who was believed drowned, then enters the play. Much of the hilarity of the play is produced by Sir Toby Belch, Malvolio, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Fabian. Sir Toby and crew forge a letter from Olivia, making Malvolio believe that Olivia is in love with him. The play ends with Orsino mar- rying Viola, Sebastian marrying Olivia, Sir Toby marrying Maria, and everyone else living happily ever after,

The technical theatre attempts to teach those who do not wish to work onstage, but still have interest in the theatre, to perform all of the backstage operations that are nec- essary to professionally put on a show. The memb ers of the technical theatre read lighting sheets, change scenery, and take care of all spe- cial effects. The background gained from this experience helps future stage- hands and stage-managers learn some of the many tricks of the trade. It is said, the only way to learn is to work towards your goal; or, practice makes perfect. The technical theatre gives practical experience in reading lighting and special effect sheets. The view from the wings or overhead is quite different from that which one sees from the Technical Theatre - — ucience 10
