First Pics From "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" at Bluffton High School




IPFW theatre majors Liz Alberding, Jessica Butler, Aaron Mann and Blane Pressler (together with stage manager Janet Bontrager) provided students at Bluffton High School with a different look at the works of Shakespeare Wednesday morning.

The story will (famous last words - I'm hoping to get it written tonight!) be in tomorrow's News-Banner (Thursday, April 16), and I'll be posting several photos from the event here over the next few days. ("Is this a very late night I see before me......")

As you can see from these first few photos, there was audience participation in the event, with sevral of the students getting a chance to share the stage with the troupe.

Pictures from the top show:

1: Liz Alberding and Blane Pressler play star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet while Joe Wallace and Ryann Runion help form the balcony from which Juliet makes her famous speech.

2: Several students join the madness of a "Midsummer Night's Dream".

3: D.J. Miller and Brandon Armstrong provide the "beat boxing" as Liz Alberding and Jessica Butler perform the witches scene from McBeth.
