Com m unity College teachers Sue
M ach, Jam es Bryant-Trerise, Je ff
McAlpine and Jim Eikrem recently
tookstudents to the festivalforthe
third year in a rowfor an overnight
theater experience.
The group w ent to A shland and
saw three shows: “ A s You Like It”
written b y the bard him self, the
more m o dem “ Hairspray” and
“ Cam bodian Rock Band,” a play
about a woman trying to find her
family’s roots 30 years after they
were forced to flee Cambodia.
The student pricefor tickets is about
$30 and rooms for an overnight stay
usual cost $93. But that price can
be split up between people willing
to share a room, making it a fairly
affordable trip that gives you time
to get to knowyour fellow students.
It’s also open for anyone at CCC to
join, not just the theater or English
majors, so if this sounds like it’s
up your alley you can start looking
forward to the next festival in March
o f next year.
You can get the info on that and
m an y other up com in g events
in the E n glish departm ent b y
contacting Sue Mach and signing
up for the English departm ent
cohortlist,which will help keepyou
up to date on any future outings,
Shakespearean or otherwise. —Lilly
