CAS 480 Class, Spring, 1998
Students in Group Performance have produced dozens of short stories since Dr. Tony Lentz arrived at Penn State in 1980. Here you see the group gathered at the Cafe Gourmet (now Saint's Cafe) to discuss the performances for Spring, 1998. The class produced many of the Katey Lehman and Edward Nichols Award stories written by Penn State Students over the years. A few of them are pictured below.
"Transformations" by Jill Hochman, Spring, 1997
This is a presentation of "Transformations" by Jill Hochman, seen in Kern Auditorium in April, 1997. The performers are Jennifer Doebler, Michelle Mace, and Thomas Dimond. You can see the small lighting system and the Kern Auditorium as it is often set up for readers theatre. Kern Graduate Commons has been generous in its support of our readings over the years.
"The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig," Spring, 1997
Students in Group Performance present stories for children in the meeting room of Schlow Public Library on Beaver Avenue. This is a presentation of "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" in Spring Semester, 1997, with Larry Ferguson as Narrator, and Jen Zimnowski, Susan Mayer, and Cara Buckley as the Little Wolves.
"Angels in the Architecture," Fall, 1992
This photo shows one of our favorite student-authored stories, "Angels in the Architecture," by Angela Vietto, presented on November 15, 1992, at Cafe Gourmet. "Angels" won the Edward Nichols Award in 1987. Nancy Chouinard directed the work, and you see Darryl Bundridge as the Man, Jo Boudin as Charlotte, and Nicole Peltz as Narrator. The coffee shop environment is one of many alternative locations where readings have been presented over the years.
"A Slight Miscalculation," Spring, 1991
Another location the Readers have performed is the HUB Gallery Lounge. Here you see a small stage & portable lighting setup employed to present former OMNI editor Ben Bova's "A Slight Miscalculation" in the Spring Semester of 1991. Dan Goulden directed, with LuAnn Bruce pictured here as Narrator, Brian Miller as Moneygrinder, and Scott Hengen as Nathan.
If you are interested in participating in Readers Theatre performances, email Dr. Lentz, or contact him by phone or snail-mail.
