Melancholy Play
by Sarah Ruhl UW-Parkside
A fun fight by two characters in love with the same woman...fighting over a vial of her tears. About a minute and a half in which no real violence occurs, all accompanied by live viola. (pictured Michael Dalberg, Roberto "Bobby" Johnson)

Twelfth Night
Shakespeare UW-Parkside
I'm always conscious of over-choreographing fights in Shakespeare; the sudden lapse of text becomes very apparent. Since this production was set in the era of early cinema, with the help of sound effects, a subtle strobe light and some ragtime piano, it was easy to create a fun, silent movie duel that could be stylistically sustained between Viola and Aguecheek.

Company
Sondheim UW-Parkside
This great domestic quarrel, interrupted by musical verses, benefitted from the sole piece of furniture (a bar), allowing them to "dissappear" and pop back up to comic effect.
