"Yet Another Shakespeare Rewrite" begins fall theatre season


From Staff Reports
The Contraband

McNeese State University Theatre will kick off the fall season with a lab production of “Yet Another Shakespeare Rewrite” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1-2 in Tritico Theatre.

Bridget Delaney of Lake Charles is directing the play as part of her senior capstone project, which requires all theater students to mount a production. This is the first student-written and student-directed senior capstone production at McNeese.

This delightful modern adaption of Shakespeare’s “Winter’s Tale” playfully examines the outrageous consequences of a jealous spouse. This comedy, filled with iconic allusions to modern day film and television, follows the errors that arise from a suspected love triangle between a man, his wife, and his childhood friend.

The cast and crew includes: Christian Bellard, Lake Charles, Leo; Jordan Coe, Lake Charles, Cam, Cletus and Gus; Dylan Conley, Ragley, Zeb; Brianna Delaney, Lake Charles, assistant sound manager and sound board operator; Bridget Delaney, sound designer; Kari Elliot, Lake Charles, stage manager; Michelle Gauthier, Lake Charles, Linus, Officer, Gopher and Pilot; Max Huber, Lake Charles, Dion and Charles; Tracy LeMieux, Lake Charles, Hermione; Stan Morris, Lake Charles, light designer; Lisa Parker, Marquette, Mich., narrator and Florien; Courtney Roland, Welsh, Emily and Perdita; and Sarah Sirmon, Lake Charles, Paulina and Lucas.

General admission is $5. Admission is free for McNeese and Sowela students with current IDs. For more information or to reserve tickets, call 475-5040 or go online at mcneese.edu/theatre.
