It’s time to MEET OUR DIRECTORS for the semester… Cammie Hussey and Chloe Olwell!!!

Why did you choose to direct The Taming of the Shrew?
Cammie: My goal for this show was to have fun: fun to develop, fun to act in, and fun to see. Because The Taming of the Shrew has such a controversial history, I thought it would be challenging and rewarding to transform it into the fun, q***r spectacular it has become!

Why did you choose to direct Twelfth Night?
Chloe: Twelfth Night was the first Shakespeare show that made me absolutely fall in love with classics. It's such an ensemble show - every single character is important and they all work together to make the show come to life. The characters are all fools in their own way and it's hilarious to watch them fall for one another's shenanigans. It's a classic that could have also been written five years ago.

Come see THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Nov 10-12 in the Lisner Downstage and TWELFTH NIGHT Dec 1-3 in the Vern Hand Chapel!!!
