Mrs Rochester in Indiana

Some weeks after we posted about an After Mrs Rochester production in Oregon, we now announce another production in Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana.

The spring mainstage production is scheduled for March 17, 18, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. and March 19, 26 at 3 p.m. in Umble Center. Lindsay Nance will be starring in one of the lead roles. (...)

The Goshen College production of “After Mrs. Rochester” attempts to “explore that social chasm, potentially extending a story, a bridge for the audience to traverse,” said Goshen College Professor of Communication and Theater Doug Liechty Caskey, director of the production. Seniors Cassie Greer (South Bend, Ind.), Nicole Miazgowicz (Temperance, Mich.) and Lindsay Nance (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) – all quite familiar with the Umble Center stage – will play the lead roles who make up the personality of Jean Rhys. Last summer the three students worked together to research, write and perform the play “Kolo” as a Maple Scholars summer research project. “They work together so well that it makes sense that they would play these three roles,” Liechty Caskey said. “We have such a strong group of senior actors and designers that I feel very good about doing such an ambitious play.” (...)
