The auditorium in Olin Hall was transformed into 17th century Paris for the RC Theatre production of \u201cThe Trickeries of Scapin,\u201d a comedy in a traditional Italian theatrical format that ran from Nov. 15 until Nov. 18.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This performance, performed in three acts, was unique due to its improvised dialogue and unique characters. Many of the characters wore masks that were created solely for the production, detailed masks that conveyed physical characteristics and the specific personalities of each character.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Senior Brian Kerr, who attended the second showing of the performance, said that he was very impressed with the cast. \u201cI thought it was great. I was really glad to come out and check out what these students are doing, it\u2019s awesome to see,\u201d Kerr said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sophomore Ryan Haden, who played the part of Scapin, chalked the stellar performance up to hard work at rehearsals and a commitment to having fun. \u201cIt was a really great crowd. I\u2019m always pleased if the audience seems to enjoy it, and there were a couple technical difficulties, but we improvised through it, so it\u2019s fine,\u201d Haden said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The rehearsal process for the cast of \u201cScapin\u201d was tedious. \u201cWe were here five nights a week, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.,and most nights even later than 10. It was constant running and running and changing things every night, and for me especially, since I have so many lines,\u201d Haden said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Overall, the performance was spectacular and unique, and it brought a whole different vibe to the audience. \u201cIf everybody gets into it together, and we are interacting with the crowd, everyone will get a lot out of it,\u201d Haden said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by Emma Grosskopf and Shamira James The auditorium in Olin Hall was transformed into 17th century Paris for the RC Theatre production of \u201cThe Trickeries of Scapin,\u201d a comedy in a traditional Italian theatrical format that ran from Nov. 15 until Nov. 18.\u00a0 This performance, performed in three acts, was unique due to its…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3455\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
