SFA’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ features movement, professionalism

    Passion, enchantment and exhilarating movement await audiences in W.M. Turner Auditorium as the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, through Saturday, Nov. 19.

Angela Bacarisse, SFA associate professor of costume design, checks the cape SFA Visiting Assistant Professor David Studwell will wear as he portrays Oberon, King of the Fairies, in William Shakespeares A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The SFA School of Theatre will present the comedy at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, through Saturday, Nov. 19, in W.M. Turner Auditorium.

    “It’s full of laughs, fairies, magic, and even a little sword fighting!” said Weslaco senior Jonathan Garcia, who portrays Demetrius, one of the lovers.

    “And its hilarious telling of an age-old story of unrequited love makes it relevant to just about everyone,” explained Rusk senior Rachel Joseph, who plays Demetrius’ love interest, Hermia.

    For this particular production, the SFA actors are being directed by New York-based guest artist Chuck Hudson and sharing the stage with two veteran actors.

    Hudson, a gymnast, mime and Paris-trained fencing master as well as director with credits in Italy, South Africa and throughout the United States, is mounting an unusually physical production with an accent on colorful visual elements, explained School of Theatre Director Scott Shattuck.

    Visiting Assistant Professor David Studwell, an award-winning professional actor with 27 years of experience at leading theaters in New York, Chicago and other major cities, is cast as Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Professor Rick Jones, with more than 30 roles to his credit, portrays Hermia’s father, Egeus.

    Studwell said he loves this kind of collaboration with the students. “It reminds me of the European master, journeyman, apprentice model—a tried and true system in which you learn by doing.”

    Longview senior Diedre Cantrell, who plays Oberon’s wife, Titania, said she appreciates having both Jones and Studwell in the cast. “They bring that extra bit of professionalism and work ethic to the production, and they are great examples for the students actors to observe in terms of what will be expected of us once we enter the professional world.”

    “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts, School of Theatre and University Series.

    Prior to the opening night performance on Tuesday, Nov. 15, Hudson will give an informative talk at 7 p.m. in Griffith Gallery, located across the hall from Turner Auditorium. The audience is invited back to the gallery for a post-performance reception to meet the cast and honor the event’s corporate sponsor, Tipton Ford-Lincoln.

    Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for seniors and $6 for students. For tickets or more information, please go to www.finearts.sfasu.edu or call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS. Patrons needing an assisted listening device during the performance may check one out through the Fine Arts Box Office.

26th Anniversary of the Nacogdoches ArtWalk

     In 1986, five Nacogdoches gallery-studios joined together to present the first Nacogdoches ArtWalk. This November, Nacogdoches will celebrate its 26th annual ArtWalk. On November 12, 2011, from 4 p.m. to 8p.m., the following Nacogdoches galleries will offer the community art exhibits, refreshments, and door prizes.

     Caddo Trail Arts , a new gallery located at 404 East Main Street, will display local art as well as Tappa’s Photography, Danna’s Framing, and the Pineywoods Trading Company featuring jewelry and beadwork.

     The Cole Art Center at 329 East Main Street invites Art Walk attendees to view “The Legacy of Diedrich Rulfs: Architect of Nacogdoches,” an exhibition of photographs taken by Christopher Talbot, interim director of the SFA School of Art.

     Glass Castles is pleased to host the talented jewelers that will have table loads of silver, copper, gold, glass, flowers, beads and stones. Anne Tindell has been part of our studio for almost 1400 pairs of earrings. She continues to add unusual designs without ever compromising her distinct style. Tina Pierson has been expanding her jewelry into china, crystals and raindrops. She still makes the delicate floral stained glass pendants.

We are also building the last window in the main sanctuary. Immaculate Conception in Moral is opening their foyer transom to be lit by a window of bevels and color. The design will copy the existing Dalle de verre glass windows that they made in 2000.

     Teresa will display icons of ArchAngel Raphael that are in progress. She is studying with the Prosopon School of Russian Iconology. She has attended workshop/ retreats in 2009 with Master Iconographer Jennifer Perkins and with Master Iconographer Fr. Mefodii in 2010 and 2011.

NACOGDOCHES MAIN STREET RECEIVE NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Debra Farst, Texas Main Street Program State Coordinator, Nacogdoches Main Street Manager Sarah OBrien, and Deputy Executive Director, Texas Historical Commission Terry Colley, are present last week at Hotel Fredonia during the 2011 Texas Downtown Association Annual Conference.

     The City of Nacogdoches Main Street Program has been commended for its successful annual progress as a designated Main Street community. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) and its Texas Main Street Program (TMSP) made the announcement November 2nd at the annual statewide downtown revitalization conference co-hosted by the TMSP and the Texas Downtown Association, in historic downtown Nacogdoches at Hotel Fredonia. Nacogdoches was also one of a twenty eight communities recognized for having been nationally recognized 10 years or more since 1999, when the National Recognition program began. “We had such a great week hosting this conference,” said Main Street Manager Sarah O’Brien. “It is an honor that we were able to receive this recognition on our own turf.”

     The 55 National Recognition cities, which represent the real places of Texas, include: Amarillo, Bastrop, Bay City, Beaumont, Brenham, Bridgeport, Canton, Canyon, Carthage, Celina, Colorado City, Corsicana, Del Rio, Denton, Electra, Elgin, Farmersville, Ferris, Georgetown, Goliad, Gonzales, Graham, Grapevine, Greenville, Harlingen, Henderson, Hillsboro, Huntsville, Kerrville, La Grange, Laredo, Levelland, Livingston, Llano, Longview, Lufkin, McKinney, Mount Pleasant, Mount Vernon, Nacogdoches, New Braunfels, Odessa, Palestine, Paris, Pecos, Plainview, Rio Grande City, Rockwall, San Angelo, San Marcos, Seguin, Taylor, Waxahachie, Weatherford and Winnsboro. These cities will be further recognized as Nationally Accredited by the National Trust for Historic Preservation next April in Baltimore, MD at the annual conference of the National Trust Main Street Center.

     “Throughout 2011 we have been celebrating the Texas Main Street Program’s 30 years of progress, having taken our first designated cities in 1981. Recognizing these cities for their efforts in revitalizing their historic downtowns takes on special meaning this year. The programs being acknowledged are large and small from all areas of the state, showing that the Main Street model is appropriate for all kinds of communities with historic downtowns,” said Debra Farst, TMSP state coordinator.

     National accredited Main Street cities show above average performance in ten categories on an annual report. Selection criteria focus on planning, partnerships, staffing, volunteer effort, preservation ethic, training and program assessment through reporting. For additional information about the national Main Street effort, visit the National Trust Main Street web site at http://www.preservationnation.org/main-street/. For more information on the Texas Historical Commission’s Main Street program visit www.thc.state.tx.us.

     The THC’s Texas Main Street Program is a revitalization program for historic downtown and neighborhood commercial districts. It is based on a Four-Point Approach™ — organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring, all within the context of historic preservation. Implemented in 1981, the program has assisted approximately 165 communities throughout the state. For more information, contact Debra Farst at 512/463-5758.
