Acting Out in Class

From UofL News, September 18 2009

They come to the University of Louisville from all over the country and, once here, go all over town.

The theatre arts department’s Repertory Company takes its shows on the road, providing many young students with their first experience in the performing arts. Since professor Bert Harris founded the company in 1975, it has performed to more than 150,000 young people throughout Louisville and southern Indiana.

This year’s troupe of four graduate students is about to hit the road with two 30-minute plays: “The Seven Labors of Arlecchino,” a folk tale adapted and directed by professor James Tompkins, and “How Vulture Saved the Earth,” a Yoruba poem that professor Nefertiti Burton adapted for the stage.
