OSU’s ‘Bard’ to stage ‘Julius Caesar’

Bard in the Quad brings innovative Shakespeare productions to Corvallis in a casual, fun summer atmosphere. Performances are held outdoors and no seating is provided.
Attendees are encouraged to bring low lawn chairs and/or blankets, warm clothing and even a picnic dinner if desired. Seating begins at 6:30 p.m .; no one will be seated prior to that time.
“Julius Caesar” depicts the plot to assassinate the charismatic Roman emperor in a modern interpretation of a classic drama filled with political intrigue and revenge. Amidst fear that Caesar intends to transform the Roman Republic into an empire, a group of influential senators and military leaders conspire to assassinate Caesar. The bloody political drama unfolds as each Roman struggles with issues of pride, loyalty and revenge.
Cast members are OSU students and local residents. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students and seniors, and $5 for OSU students.

Theater camp for
teens in Lebanon
Lebanon Youth Theater Experience invites all students entering grades 7-10 to participate this summer in a new Outdoor Musical Theater Camp.
The outdoor camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 4-22 at the Lebanon farm property of director John Kluttz, with performances scheduled Aug. 21-23 and 28-30. Open auditions have been held, but private auditions are still available.
Cost is $125 for three weeks, which covers scripts, T-shirts, meals and all other camp necessities. The camp will include fun activities, workshops and rehearsals for the Broadway Junior production of the musical “Hairspray”.
Kluttz has taught choir and theater locally, has been involved with the Lebanon Association for Theater Arts but found its children’s programs mostly geared to elementary ages. That’s what prompted him to create LYTE.
