The Lincoln College theatrical
department has closed the books on the first production of the
season and considers it to have been a great success.
The play was set up to be
performed at the Lincoln College Creekside Environmental Center with
a cornfield as the backdrop. For the weekend, the majority of
the performances did take place outdoors. It was only on
Thursday evening and Saturday evening that inclement weather drove
the production indoors to the Johnson Center for Performing Arts
on the college campus.
At the conclusion of the
Friday evening performance at Creekside, just as Prospera was ending
her monologue, a strong wind blew across the audience and stage. One
attendee said it was a terrific moment that seemed to put an exclamation
point on the whole evening's performance.

another pull from his ever-present bottle of wine. Even before the
play commenced, Stephano staggered through the audience, greeting the
theatergoers. |

just deserts for their conniving.
