Bravo to the Cast and Crew of "Ape/Essence"

I am happy to announce that following the national selection team meeting for the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival national conference in Washington DC, Gannon University's Schuster Theatre production of APE/ESSENCE, which garnered regional and international accolades, was given a final recognition.  The KC/ACTF Awards Committee 2018 gave Commendation to THE COMPANY for Distinguished Achievement in Ensemble Generated Exploration of Literature for APE/ESSENCE, Based on Aldous Huxley's novella APE AND ESSENCE.  

This is a national recognition given to the extraordinary work of our students, under the careful direction and technical direction of Alaina Manchester and Jax Vadney.  We are immensely proud of this distinction, and are happy to share this good news with you, as our academic year comes to a close.

Peace,

Shakespeare Summer Nights 2018

Gannon University's Schuster Theatre is pleased to announce Auditions for Shakespeare Summer Nights 2018! Shows to be produced this year are MACBETH, adapted by Fr. Shawn Clerkin and directed by Almitra Clerkin and STANDUP SHAKESPEARE, directed by Ellise Chase.

About MACBETH: "A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself." (Wikipedia).

About STANDUP SHAKESPEARE: STANDUP SHAKESPEARE is a delightful, jazzy musical set in the backdrop of a cabaret using the text of the bard to tell the tale of the performers. 

Many thanks to all who auditioned for Shakespeare Summer Nights 2018! With the abundance of talent, our directors had much to consider in casting options. Thank you for sharing your talents and coming out to continue our tradition of Shakespeare in the park.

Without further adieu, here are the casts for this season:

MacBeth Ensemble:
Katie Forsgren*
Megan Hamm
Alaina Manchester
Petra Shearer*
Cheyenne Stefano*
BJ Waide

Congratulations and we cannot wait to begin this process with all of you!
