Friday, March 28
Conference.
“Renaissance Stagings.” Through March 29. Various venues. Sponsored by English and drama departments. www.arches.uga.edu/~fteague/RDConf.html.
“In 2001, I was sitting in a bar in Spain, where I’d gone for a conference, with a friend from South Carolina,” says Frances Teague, a professor of Renaissance literature in the department of English. “We began to wonder why we had to travel to Spain to chat at a conference, when we lived so close to each other. From that came the vague idea that, some time, folks in this region who work on Renaissance drama really ought to get together and talk about their work.”
When Teague discovered that John Vance, her colleague in the English department, was directing Aphra Behn’s play The Rover at Town and Gown Theater in late March, it seemed a perfect opportunity. Drama professor Freda Scott Giles got one of her classes involved as well.
Discussions will begin at 2 p.m. on March 28 in 261 Park Hall. That evening, The Rover will be presented by the Town and Gown Theater at the Athens Community Playhouse off Prince Avenue in Athens behind the historic Taylor-Grady House. Presentations will continue in 265 Park Hall the next morning. At noon, scenes from Renaissance plays will be performed in the Presidents Club Garden behind Old College.
