Shakespeare & Company, one of the country\u2019s premier theatre groups, will be returning for its ninth annual residency in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre, Feb. 29-23.<\/p>\n
The residency culminates at noon on Thursday, Feb. 22 with a 90-minute production of Othello. The tragedy tells the story of Othello, a powerful gneral in the Venetian army, whose life and marriage are ruined by a conniving, deceitful, and envious solider. The performance is open to the public and appropriate for all, school age and up.<\/p>\n
“If you have not seen a Shakespeare& Company performance before, you will be astonished by how accessible the language is and how compelling the play\u2019s action and story become through the company\u2019s skill and dynamic involvement,”\u00a0according to Rosanne Raneri, theatre professor. “Shakespeare& Company members are well-known not only for their exuberant performances, but also for their\u00a0compassionate and insightful approach to teaching.”<\/p>\n
Workshops are open to all students<\/strong> The residency is especially valuable for actors and theatre-makers at any stage of training, but it’s an experience that anyone — whatever\u00a0their field of study — can benefit from. Please feel free to share this information with other students and friends\u00a0who may be interested.<\/p>\n Residency schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday, Feb. 19 and Tuesday, Feb. 20<\/strong> Wednesday, Feb. 21<\/strong> Thursday, Feb. 22<\/strong> 3 to 5:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23<\/strong> <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 13 Feb 2018 19:05:31 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shakespeare & Company, one of the country\u2019s premier theatre groups, will be returning for its ninth annual residency in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10543\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
