“Making Theatre” interviews in Digital Theatre Plus
Beyond the full-length filmed performances it offers, Digital Theatre Plus includes numerous interviews with cast and creative team members--including actors, directors, playwrights, producers, costume, lighting, and sound designers--in the Making Theatre section of the site.
Exhibition: Beyond the Codex
The Arts of the Book Collection, part of the Special Collections at the Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library, strives to document the many trends in the wide-ranging field of book arts. One such trend comprises artists who challenge the traditional codex format with unexpected sculptural renderings. Yet, these works often preserve other conventions of the book, such as narrative and reader interaction. Sculptural book objects allow readers to appreciate the book for its physical format as well as its content.
New performances on Digital Theatre Plus
The latest addition to Digital Theatre Plus is Henrik Ibsen’s GHOSTS, directed by Richard Eyre for the Almeida Theatre and starring Lesley Manville in an acclaimed performance as Helene Alving. Digital Theatre Plus also now includes videos of recent performances from the Royal Opera House and historic recordings from the Broadway Theatre Archive.
Printing Demo 9/18 in SML 3-5pm
The Bibliographical Press was founded in 1927 by University Printer Carl P. Rollins and Professor of English Arthur Ellicott Case as a way to teach students of early literature how the books they studied were physically created. With support from University Librarian Andrew Keough, The Bibliographical Press has been part of Sterling Memorial Library since its opening in 1931.
During the Nave Open House on September 18 from 3 to 5 pm, see a 19th century Albion hand press in action, printing a keepsake from hand set metal type. Keepsakes available while supplies last.
