DrJohn and others: My daughter called me Saturday night close to midnight, which is usually NOT a good sign. But this time it was because she was walking home after seeing "Caucasian Chalk Circle", and she was bubbling over with excitement from the experience. She had so many good things to say...about the excellence of the cast, about the original music, about the staging, and about Brecht. During our 20-minute "conversation", I think I only managed a few words (although I did manage to slip in an "I told you so"...I've been encouraging her to read Brecht for years). Kudos (albeit second-hand) on another excellent Otterbein production.

DrJohn, my daughter is intending to take the theatre INST course next year, but are there any other courses open to non-majors which would provide a theatre-hungry student with exposure to scripts and/or script analysis?
