Play Readings |
 |
The readings are a great opportunity to read favorites and less famous plays aloud, as they
were meant to be, with other interested students. The readings are usually held in Rolfe
Hall in the Commons (Rolfe 1301) or the second floor seminar room (Rolfe 2310).
We recommend that you bring a copy of the play with you.
There are currently no play readings scheduled.

Quarterly Scene Nights |
|
Each academic quarter the Shakespeare Group performs a selection of scenes from various plays.
Each scene is independent, with a separate director and cast, which provides for a widely
diverse production. We are committed to providing acting and directing opportunities to as
many students as we can. Over the quarters we have had:

Summer Productions |
|
Like the scene nights, our summer productions are entirely student acted, directed, and produced.
Unlike the performances during the academic year, which bring together different scenes from
various plays, in the summer we produce a full play with a single director and cast. Our full
summer productions include:
Summer Productions: Twelfth Night, or What You Will (Summer 1993), The Merchant
of Venice (Summer 1994), Measure for Measure (Summer 1995), A Midsummer Night's Dream
(Summer 1997), The Tempest (Summer 1998), Twelfth Night (Summer 1999),
Much Ado About Nothing
(Summer 2000), Cymbeline! The Musical (Fall 2001), King John
(2002), and the upcoming Macbeth (Spring 2003)
