Theatre Symposium<br>
March 28-30, 2003<br>
Mary Baldwin College<br>
Staunton, Virginia<br>
<br>
The 2003 SETC Theatre Symposium will be held at Mary Baldwin College,
with the cooperation of Shenandoah Shakespeare Express, which has
recently opened their reproduction of the Blackfriar's
Theatre. The conference will take advantage of this
theatrically and historically valuable site to address the ways that
North Americans have presented Elizabethan texts (which, broadly
interpreted, includes Jacobean plays as well) throughout history and
the spaces in which they have chosen to present them.<br>
<br>
Topics explored may include:<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>*
frontier presentations of Elizabethan/Jacobean drama<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* 20th century reconstructions of Elizabethan
spaces<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* adaptations of
Elizabethan/Jacobean texts to North American theatrical styles<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>*
parodies of such texts<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* the
ways in which texts were changed to accommodate these spaces<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* tensions between
the culture of Elizabethan/Jacobean texts and North American
performance styles and spaces<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* evaluations of the adaptability of
North American theatres to Elizabethan<br>
plays.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* the
development of Shakespeare Festivals in North America<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>* issues related to the
production of such texts and those practitioners who have developed
distinct styles of producing such texts<br>
