Shakespeare Returns To The USI Theatre Stage With A Midsummer Night’s Dream

0

University of Southern Indiana Theatre will continue its 2019-2020 season with the classic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, written by William Shakespeare and directed by Elliot Wasserman, USI professor of theatre. The production runs from November 14-17, 2019 in the USI Performance Center located in UC east on USI’s campus.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the first play by Shakespeare to be produced at the USI Performance Center since it opened in 2015.  Wasserman has added a unique touch to the production by setting the play in a Victorian era and dressing the fairies in steampunk style, their clothing a mixture of outmoded, silly tech and fanciful touches.

“They serve as a metaphor to love, because love is an inexplicable phenomenon.  Shakespeare suggests that fairies can drive it forward, arrange it, rearrange it, and bless it,” said Wasserman. “In a rule-oriented world that does little to account for or allow for love, invisible forces foster love, not social rules. Hence, we have fairies, and as a world in relationship to the Victorian one, the steampunk style, which is a fanciful modification of the Victorian, is the choice.”

Wasserman will be joined by a design team including USI faculty member Paul Weimer as scenic designer; USI staff member Joshua Stallings as sound designer; USI staff member Shan Jensen as costume designer; USI staff member Andy Hammond as technical designer; USI faculty member Maya Michele Fein as lighting designer; and USI student Ashtyn Cornett as production stage manager.

The cast of A Midsummer Night’s Dream includes USI students Cole Brinker, Easton Crisp, Brandon Douglas, Carlysle Dante Marie Garland, Jason Merslich, Jada Alexia Hampton, Elijah C. Young, Amelia Schmitz, Rafael Gonzalez, Allen Harbold, Perci Hale, Trevor Maxey, Brennen Hobson, Nathaniel Robles, Nate Jenkins, Hadin Hart, Daniel Moser, Shayna Survil, Evelyn Pigman, Kierstin Prewitt, and Kirsten Rude.

Tickets are $2 for USI students, $10 for USI employees, $4 for non-USI students (student ID required), $10 seniors (60+), and $12 for adults. Tickets are FREE to USI students with ID one hour before the show begins based on availability.  Shows start at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. for the Sunday matinee.

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” October 26, 2019

0
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Today’s “Readers Poll’ question is: If the election was held today for City Council Ward Four (4) who would you vote for?

ADOPT A PET

Kate is the mom of the “Home Alone” litter! She has never accidentally left any of her kittens at home by themselves. Or New York. She was an awesome momma… but alas, all of the McCallister kids including Kevin have grown up & been adopted into their own new lives. Kate is the VHS’ 2nd-longest resident because she can be a shy one when you first meet her. But she warms up quickly. She’s even a Manx mix, which means she has no tail (naturally!) Kate’s adoption fee is $40 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, and more. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

USI pounce on Bulldogs, win 4-1

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s scored early and often to defeat Truman State University, 4-1, Friday afternoon in Kirksville, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles see their record go to 6-5-3 overall and 6-4-2 in the GLVC, while Truman State goes to 5-67-2, 4-6-2 GLVC.

The victory puts the Eagles over the .500 mark overall for the first time this season.

USI sophomore defender Colten Walsh put the Eagles on the scoreboard with one of the quickest goals in Eagles history, finding the back of the net just 38 seconds into the match. The goal was the second of the season for Walsh, who was assisted by senior midfielder Sean Rickey and senior forward Eric Ramirez.

The Eagles pushed the lead to 2-0 when Rickey blasted a shot through the legs of the Bulldog goalkeeper at 16:52. The goal was Rickey’s fifth of the season, tying him for the team lead with Ramirez.

Truman cut the USI lead in half, 2-1, with a tally at 19:39 and the Eagles would carry the one-goal lead into the intermission.

USI sealed the victory in the second half with two more goals. Freshman forward Zach Barton extended the lead to 3-1 at 46:26 on his third tally of the season and assisted by senior midfielder Adam Becker. The Eagles concluded the scoring in the victory when senior defender Drew Albert notched his second goal of the year at 77:34 off a second assist by Becker.

Between the posts, junior goalkeeper Justin Faas won his sixth match of the year. Faas faced nine Truman State shots, allowed one goal, and made two saves.

USI finishes the road trip Sunday with a 2:30 p.m. visit to Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. The Hawks, who are 7-6-0 overall and 5-5-0 in the GLVC, host McKendree University this evening.

Quincy leads the all-time series with USI, 17-7-2, but the Eagles have had the upper hand over the last five years, going 4-0-1 versus the Hawks. USI won at Quincy last fall, 2-0, on goals by Rickey and Ramirez.
