Your UA Theatre Fund for Excellence Gifts at Work! In March of 2014, I attended my first USITT (United States Institute for Theatre Technology) conference, due in large part from financial support I received from the UA Theatre Fund for Excellence.
Ted Kraus, Technical Director
Bruce Brockman, the Director of the School of Theatre, Film & Television, had been urging me to go since arriving at the UA, but time and money always seemed to outweigh any expected benefit. The Theatre Fund for Excellence eliminated one of those issues, and as Bruce suggested, the time was well spent.
In addition to attending numerous sessions over the course of the four-day conference, I was able to connect with other educational technical directors, and explore ways to conduct research vital to my tenure process. In fact, a session I proposed at that conference was accepted, and I am chairing a panel on Problem Based Learning at the USITT conference during March, 2015. At this year’s conference, my co-panelist, Rich Dionne (Technical Director at Purdue University), and I will propose expanding this year’s session into a day-long seminar where we will help instructors develop their own problem-based learning curricula. Thank you for giving to the UA Theatre Fund for Excellence. -Professor Ted Kraus Assistant Professor Technical Direction

by William Shakespeare Pat Engels & Richard Medland Othello production sponsors
DRAMATURG’S NOTES Othello is a classical Shakespearean tragedy about the unfortunate events leading to the demise of Othello, the Moor of Venice. Themes of loyalty, honor and truth permeate the text and ask the audience to think about the nature of jealousy, for as Iago says, “It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” It is also a text that is extremely controversial, as it deals directly with the often inflammatory concept of race. Shakespeare’s England enforced a racial binary; one was either white or colored. The word “Moor” was not exclusive to people of African descent, but also applied to indigenous inhabitants of India, North America, Indonesia, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. The origin of race during the Renaissance was largely debated between two theories; that the difference in skin color was because of sun exposure, or that it was a curse by God to indicate a person’s wrongdoings. The word “black” was often used as a synonym for evil, and due to England’s color prejudice, it was common to perform in blackface to symbolize the character’s sinful nature. Stereotypes of Africans as lusty, possessive, and suspicious were prevalent in the minds of Shakespeare’s audience. In 1526, Leo Africanus, a wellknown author of the time, wrote in his History and Description of Africa, “No nation in the world is so subject unto jealousy; for they will rather lose their lives, than put up any disgrace in behalf of their women.” Shakespeare took these expectations and turned them on their head; Othello is a black man, but he is a good man. Iago is white, but from the first scene of the play, he purports, “I am not what I am.” From watching Iago’s deviancy evolve, to seeing the culmination of Othello’s jealousy, the play leaves audiences questioning their own perception of truth.

A Note from a Theatre Program Advisory Board Member Theatre history tells us that from earliest times the theatre has been an integral part of all cultures. My love of the theatre was born when, as a 6-year-old, I saw a production of "Hansel and Gretel" at the Goodman Theatre School in Chicago. Serving on the Advisory Board for the UA School of Theatre, Film & Television in different capacities for more than 10 years has been one way I am able to share with the Tucson community all that theatre brings to life on stage at the UA Arizona Repertory Theatre (ART). Each performance of our ART productions provides me not only the opportunity to revel in the joys of live theatre, but the satisfaction of knowing that the students are developing the professional skills they will need for a successful career. ART affords both our Acting/Musical Theatre and Design Tech students an exceptional educational experience. I encourage you to consider giving a donation to the UA Theatre Fund for Excellence as another way to support the School. Your patronage is greatly appreciated. See you at the theatre! - JoAnn Zirkle
