‘Robber Bridegroom’ opening theater season
Tracy Stanberg/The Re^n^a»ch
Leigh Meadows: Cast member of “The Robber
Bridegroom,” a musical opening on Oct. 31.

“All the world is a stage,” wrote
William Shakespeare. And the
University’s stage is open to all
students.
The 31 cast members of “The
Robber Bridegroom” are dancing
on stage already, rehearsing for
the drama department sponsored
musical’s Oct. 31 opening night.
“We get really close working to
gether and spending so much time
with each other," said David
Dorsey, a sophomore drama mcyor,
of the three-nour rehearsals.
Dorsey came to the University
with the intention of declaring a
business major, but his heart
yearns to be on stage.
Most of the cast have never done
a musical before.
Clint Thornton, a fine arts mas
ter’s candidate who is playing the
lead role, said, “It’s a lot of fun and
a lot of vocal work. I’ve never
played the tenor role before.”
‘The only way to learn is to just
do it,” said Assistant Director
Laura DeCastro. “I’m working a lot
harder than what I’m used to.”
DeCastro, a freshman undecided
major, had experience on stage
during high school, but prefers
working behind the scenes orga
nizing the production.
“I make sure everyone is doing
their part,” DeCastro said, “even
though they pretty much take care
of themselves. I fill in for a part
when someone’s absent and do
whatever direction tells me be
tween department and cast.”
The whole production couldn’t
function without all the hard work,
fun and learning experiences. And,
of course, Drama Department Di
rector August Staub.
“He has incredible energy," De
Castro said. “And that energy
transfers beautifully to the cast.”
‘The Robber Bridegroom” will
open the production stage this fall,
running Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 in the
Fine Arts Theatre. The lyrics were
written by Alfred Uhry, who won a
Pulitzer Prize for his work in
“Driving Miss Daisy.”
Another energetic performance
will come in the form of Shake
speare’s “Measure for Measure,” a
comedy scheduled to run February
13-17 in the Fine Arts Theatre.
Shakespeare may be a hard act
to follow, but the presentations
scheduled for spring quarter
promise to hold their own.
“House of Blue Leaves,” a Tony
Award-winning play by John
Guare, and “Split Second” by
Dennis Mclntye will be presented
in the Cellar Theatre. “House of
Blue Leaves,” which had two suc
cessful shows on Broadway, will
run March 6-17.
From April 3-14, “Split Second.”
a play dedicated to the minority ex
perience will be directed by a spe
cialist in black theatre, Thomas
Ellis.
In the first two weeks of May,
the drama department will intro
duce the Georgia Repertory
Theatre. This professional acting
company, composed of members
from the Actors Equity, will pre
sent two new plays established by
American playwrights.
"Naturally we’re excited,” Staub
said. “Athens has never had a fully
professional theater season be
fore.”
There are approximately 50 per
formances a year, and all are open
to University students. Most audi
tion information can be found on
bulletins in the Fine Arts Building.
Single ticket prices for produc
tions are $7 for non-students and
$5 for students. Prices for musicals
are $8 for non-students and $6 for
students. Season coupons are $24
for adults and $20 for senior citi
zens and students.
