APPLETON, WIS. — The Lawrence University Department of Theatre Arts presents alumni P.K. Allen ’65, Liz Megan Cole ’63, and Ted Katzoff ’65 in a staged reading of “Let Me Count The Ways” at 8:00 p.m. Friday, October 13 in Cloak Theatre located in the Music-Drama Center. A discussion will follow the reading.
“Let Me Count The Ways” is a lighthearted look at love that includes performances of poetry, prose, and songs about love. The exploration of love covers the spectrum of life’s journey, from childhood and young love to marriage, disillusion, and last confessions. Works included in the play range from Sir Walter Raleigh to William Shakespeare to The Rolling Stones and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This reading, compiled by Allen, Cole, and Katzoff, is an adaptation of “Pleasure and Repentance” by British stage director Terry Hands.
This production is free and open to the public. It is funded by the Marguerite Schumann ’44, Memorial Lectureship, which sponsors speakers on topics that were of special interest to her, such as history, music, and writing.
