Shakespeare Cometh to LSC
Adam Brabant, Theater Operations Management major at Lyndon, has always had his mind set on one thing: To be the director of a theater company.
Last fall, Brabant came to Lyndon with the hope of having his lifelong dream come true. Brabant has been involved with theater since he was a child, but since his start at Lyndon a year ago, he has been involved with two of the plays performed by the Twlight Players.
Brabant has been involved with theater for as long as he can remember. He has done it all—from on-stage acting to working behind the scenes. In Montana, where he used to live, Brabant started a community theater company, and also had an Internship with Kingdom County Productions.
This semester, for his independent study, Brabant finally gets to be the director of a play. Just a few weeks ago, auditions were held for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. This is a two-hour performance that includes Shakespeare's entire work put together, into one humorous play. The play only includes four roles, but he has high hopes since the four roles were filled with very talented individuals.
We do have the Twilight Theater productions here on campus and like a previously stated, Brabant helped out with both performances last year, but he has been yearning for something more.
"There are so many talented people here on campus and I wanted to do this play to give them more opportunity to be involved," says Brabant.
As of right now, this performance is a one-time thing here at Lyndon, but Brabant does have the hopes to take this particular performance on tour— to perform The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged on at least three other sites off campus.
Auditions are over, rehearsal has begun, but props and money for the set are still needed. Brabant plans on taking this money out of his own pocket, in order to make this performance a successful one. On top of that, Brabant also has to pay a $25 fee each time the play is performed (to the theater company).
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged is set to be performed December 1st-3rd, in ASAC 100. The times will be announced at a closer date.
