4/11 - Athenaeum at 1pm - The Actor as Chameleon, As Explored Through the Works of William Shakespeare

Please join us on Wednesday, April 11, at 1pm for "The Actor as Chameleon, As Explored Through the Works of William Shakespeare" presented by Lolly Foy, Assistant Professor, Theatre and Dance.

In 1998 Lolly Foy helped found the all female Shakespeare company, "Chickspeare," in Charlotte, NC, to generate more performance opportunities for a talented, and woefully underutilized pool of women actors. The company soon adopted the philosophy that the actor should strive to be a vessel, devoid of age, sex, or type, into which the character can be poured. For instance, one does not "play" a man, but rather becomes the unique individual that is Falstaff. To demonstrate this ideal, Ms. Foy will perform a one woman, or rather, one actor romp through some of Shakespeare's best loved plays and characters.

The Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor, bluff side of the Darrell W. Krueger Library. For additional information about the Athenaeum, please visit the following: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/
