“We had extra rehearsals specifically to practice the fighting choreography which reaped great results. One of our greatest challenges was the stage combat because it was new for most of us,” said Joransen.
TIMELESS MEANING PROFESSIONAL
“This play has a lot of lights and visual effects as well as some professional stunt choreography. While how the directors and cast members got around that one will be a mystery until opening day, it’s not a mystery that this play had challenges completely unrelated to COVID-19. “There’s significant plot points that require a kiss. However, there are other aspects of the play where COVID-19 measures were a little difficult to navigate. “We still have to wear masks for every rehearsal,” said actor Nic Joransen, “and every cast member had their temperature checked upon arrival.” I admit it was a challenge at first to adjust to a now heavy budgeted show, with large staff involvement, although it’s wonderful that it allowed for a larger student involvement.”įor such a large production, COVID-19 measures also were in place to ensure that cast members and crew were practicing social distancing.
At that time, Take No Prisoners was a humble student production. Also, I was part of the original production in the spring of 2020, pre-COVID. “During the heat of the creative process, it can be hard to juggle many things at once. “When putting together a production there are a variety of challenges in balancing both school life and the demands of the show,” said Humphrey. We have a great new recasting of roles left open by graduating seniors from last year to make up a great ensemble!”įor actor Aeden Humphrey, adjusting from a student production to a large-budget production has been a challenge. I said I’d pick it up this year and finish directing it for those remaining of the original cast. Shores was requested to write it for theatre major Sarah Cole to direct as a senior project and was in mid rehearsal when Asbury sent everyone home due to COVID. “This is the first time production of a big show,” said director Carol Anderson. The show has been in the making since last year it would have been performed last spring if COVID-19 hadn’t shut in-person classes down. The plot takes a few twists and turns you’re guaranteed an action-packed and exciting evening. The play takes place in a video game, with the characters in the video game as the heroes in search of the creator of the world. Never fear: “Take No Prisoners,” an original play written by Jim Shores, is set to open March 11 with reduced seating and a livestream option available for those who can’t attend in person. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.During such unprecedented times, there are few opportunities for collective escapism. She also wrote Song at the Scaffold and The Eternal Woman. She was a prolific writer whose poetry and novels, which have been translated into many languages, won her acclaim throughout Europe. A convert to Catholicism, she attended the universities of Heidelberg, Berlin and Marburg. Gertrud von le Fort (1876-1971) was a German novelist and essayist. Since any woman's acceptance of motherhood is likewise a yes to God, when womanhood and motherhood are properly understood and appreciated, the nature of the soul's relationship to God is revealed. Like the Son's acceptance of the Cross, Mary's acceptance of her maternity symbolizes for all mankind the self-surrender to the Creator required of every human soul.
Mary's fiat to God is the pathway to our salvation, as it is inextricably linked with the obedience unto death of Jesus her son. Taking Mary, Virgin and Mother, as her model, von le Fort reflects on the significance of woman's spiritual and physical receptivity that constitutes her very essence, as well as her role in both the creation and redemption of human beings. In The Eternal Woman, she counters the modern assault on the feminine not with polemical argument but with perhaps the most beautiful meditation on womanhood ever written. With penetrating insight Gertrud von le Fort understood the war on womanhood, and consequently on motherhood, that always coincides with an attack on the faith of the Catholic Church, which she embraced at the age of 50 in 1926. In the name of liberating her from the so-called tyranny of Christianity, atheism, in any form, leads to woman's enslavement. Denying the Creator, who made male and female, Nazism and Communism could only fail to appreciate the true meaning of the feminine and reduce woman to a mere instrument of the state. When The Eternal Woman was first published in Germany, Europe was a battlefield of modern ideologies that would sweep away millions of lives in war and genocide.
