SHAKESPEARE'S TWELFTH NIGHT TO BE PRESENTED APRIL 27 THROUGH APRIL 30 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT MACHIAS

The University of Maine at Machias Theatre will present Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, directed by
Assistant Professor of Theatre and Speech, Lee M. Rose on April 27 through April 30.
Performances will be in the Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday nights,
April 27 and 28. Matinee performances will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, April 29 and 30.

UMM Theatre's Twelfth Night will use Shakespeare's original text as it is performed in modern dress with contemporary music, video and computer technology. The play is about love and lust, mistaken identity,
and excessive behavior. This is a Twelfth Night like none you've ever seen, not for the 1990's,
but for the new millennium.
The cast includes, Kenne Hoffman, George Spelvin, Joe Bennett, Sue Lentovich, Norman Nelson,
Jason Stark, Jessica Beagan, Graham Foster, Matt Byard, Deb Elz Hammond, Mike Bagley, Barbara Skidgel,
Jamie Elwell, Sara Mara, Vanessa Reed, and Tami-Lyn Heffner. The production crew is composed of
students from UMM Theatre's Play Production class, headed up by Production Stage Manager Vlado Gareski,
and features the Set and Costume designs of UMM Visual Arts major Amy Smith.
Many of the performers and production crewmembers are students in the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary
Fine Arts academic program at the University of Maine at Machias. The program is filled with independent
study possibilities and is catching the attention of new students. Built around standard general core courses,
the program ensures that students have a solid background in reading, writing,
speaking and thinking.
Additional courses in the Fine Arts core allow students to experience all areas of the arts as they prepare for
more intensive work in their chosen field. As a senior project, students might write and produce a play;
design, write and publish a book; record a disk of their own music, mount a gallery exhibit of their art, or
extend their creativity to the next level.
Dr. David Rosen, chair of UMM's Division of Arts and Letters, observed that the degree program provides
"a rich arts program within a liberal arts framework."
Today the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts is a program particularly appealing to creative
students. The program is crafted to develop a student's creative side, allowing them to become good at
what they like best, and have a world of possibilities when they graduate.

Information about the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts may be obtained by calling the
Admissions Office toll free at 1-888-468-6866 or by visiting UMM's Web site at www.umm.maine.edu.
