The Rude Mechanicals Medieval and Renaissance Players present William Shakespeare’s late romance The Tempest November 7th through the 17th in Reynolds Hall. Performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday performances are at 3:00 p.m. General admission is $5. Shepherd University students, faculty, and staff free. Other students are $2. The Rude Mechanicals will present two different interpretations of the play focusing on whether justice can be achieved through transformation and forgiveness only or whether justice must be fought for.
The next gathering of Stammtisch, the German language and culture conversation group, will be on Thursday, October 3rd, at 5:00 p.m. It will be at the home of Daan Vreugdenhil here in Shepherdstown. Daan is a frequent participant in Stammtisch. Stammtisch is open to all faculty, staff, students, and community members, and people with all levels of German proficiency—from beginners to native speakers—are welcome to take part. For more information, contact Dr. Rachel Krantz (rritterb@shepherd.edu).
