Into The Eye
of The Storm
Tempted by The Tempest
by George L. Hie;
The Collegian
(Out of nowhere, a terrible
storm rose up at sea and took a
hold of a helpless ship of
passengers and crew. The
passengers quickly panicked and
began jumping overboard. The
crew stayed with the ship and
somehow steered it out of danger.
Luckily, everyone outlasted the
storm.)
This was the scene last
weekend for a theatre production
during the Stratford Festival in
Stratford, Ontario.
The play, Shakespeare's The
Tempest, was attended by a group
consisting of Behrend Students,
faculty, spouses, and friends.
"This is the first time we've
been able to go to Stratford for
awhile,” said Dean Baldwin,
associate professor of English.
"In the past few years, we just
haven’t been able to get enough
people who wanted to go."

The trip, a requirement for the
students of Baldwin's
Shakespeare class, was open to
anyone who wanted to attend.
The Stratford Festival, which
is currently celebrating its 40th
anniversary, is the largest
repertory complex theatre in
North America.
It contains three stages, which
vary in size and audience
capacity.
The Tempest, which played on
the complex's main stage, was a
professional presentation in all
areas of theatre production.
The group was impressed with
the acting talent of the characters
in the play.
"Because the tradition of
Shakespeare in the theatre has
such a history of superb
performances, acting in any one
of his plays can be intimidating,"
said, Wayne Johnson, a seventh
semester English creative writing
major.
"I think the acting of the
Penn State-Behrend’s

Stratford Company was excellent.
It was top notch all the way."
Baldwin said, "To really
appreciate Shakespeare, it is
necessary to see theatre
performances of his plays. It is
on the stage that Shakespeare
really comes alive.”
The majority of the group saw
the Shakespeare performance,
however, a few others went to
see the Gilbert and Sulivan
production, H.M.S. Pinafore.
Among those in this group
were faculty members Zachary
Irwin, associate professor of
political science, and his wife.
"The costumes and the staging
of Pinafore were superb. So was
the choreography," Irwin said.
"The entire production was
very well done. I really enjoyed
it."
The group agrees that the trip
to Stratford will, hopefully in the
future, become a staple of
Behrend's annual activities
calender.
