Joseph Sileerstein, Conducting Christie Lundquist, Clarinet "The original merriment lasted approximately one month, said Young, Because Ludwig had a penchant for celebration ... it was quite a party. He added that the current Oktoberfest in Munich and this one at Snowbird are not quite like the original.

So, what do you do? (Maybe they have Cliff notes for it?) Simple, you go to the W.T. Nightingale Library, Check out the tape for old Ibsen's The Doll's House, and you LISTEN (As you read along) to it. Listen? To a play? Absolutely. Thanks to Westminsters Theater instructor, Gail McCulloch, who in cooperation with other departments at the college, has organized a playreading series which will record approximately three or four plays each month to be kept on file at the Nightingale Library on the Westminster campus. McCulloch feels that the playreading series will open up more plays to students, as well as supplement the playreading that students are doing currently in classes. This is an opportunity for students to gain more exposure to plays said McCulloch. We are going to try to do more plays that are being read in classes, so that students can check them out and listen to them. Plays are not really written solely to be read; they are written to be performed. McCulloch said that the visualization and interaction of the characters is often lost when a student is simply reading a script. The recorded version will allow the student to read the script, but also have the feeling of spontaneous action that comes in the performance of a work. The selection of the plays was based on the response to a memo circulated to faculty, so that the plays selected would best serve of multiple departments. The initial series to be recorded consists of Tennessee Williams The Glass Menagerie, Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest, and Henrik Ibsens, A Dolls House. The cast for the readings will be volunteers. Individuals within the theater department and those in other disciplines are encouraged to the-nee- Ur x . ds participate. Id like to see students, faculty and the outside community involved in the playreading series. said McCulloch. Id like to see more campus-widinvolvement with the theater and I think that the playreading series e will be able to do this." If you are perhaps not a brave soul (you did, remember, consider buying the cliff notes), and not one to feel comfortable reading as a character in a play, then McCulloch encourages you to come over to Courage Theater anyway and listen to the readings while they are being recorded. Come over and watch the playreading," said McCulloch. Bring a script and read along if youd like." McCulloch added that there would be coffee brewing, and that the atmosphere would be relaxed and informal. The addition of the playreading series initiated by McCulloch in the Westminster theater department falls into the trend which has been A trend which Mcresurfacing theater-wide- . Culloch said is a battle to keep production costs down and esthetic interest up. The cost of a full scale production is very high, said McCulloch, The playreading aspect is a way to encourage public involvement with more plays, as well as enabling a theater to test the audience interest in a play before investing in a full scale production of it. McCulloch added that it is important to her that the plays being read are those of interest to the audience and she encourages students, faculty and community to let her know which plays they would like to hear. Now you know that plays are to be heard as well as read (and seen) that afternoon study session isnt quite the drag you expected it to be, now is it?
