Local Theater Headed for Change
This month was a time of heavy change at the world renowned Theatre Illuminata.
The theater, which is home to a wonderful cast of players, was thrown of it's usual tilt as it staged a new play by its new director, Beatrice Shakespeare Smith. Miss Smith has been at the theater since she was a little girl, and according to inside sources has had a reputation for being rebellious.
"Sometimes I find it a wonder that she hasn't burnt the place to the ground," says the theater's stage manager.
Mrs. Edith, the Theatre's costume director, strikes a softer tone.
"She can be insensitive at times, but ithink she's capable of correcting it."
And Mrs. Edith's words certainly fulfilled themselves, as Smith lead a campain to repair the Complete Works of the Stage, a book that contains all of the plays used by the Theatre. During her efforts, she was also preparing an Egyptian themed version of Hamlet, which was to make it's debut earlier this week. However, patrons of the performance were treated not to the new production, but to a play telling of Smith's life story and how she came to be at the Theatre. The performance was well recieved, and the theater gained many more patrons. Shortly afterward, Smith announced that she and a small group of friends would be leaving the Theatre and taking their show on the road.
