Fulton "Day on Campus" - 2010

Millersville University students will have the opportunity to interact directly with professional directors and actors from the production “Michael Archangel,” thanks to a partnership with the Fulton Theatre. The University has worked with the Fulton in preparing an in-residence day on campus, Thursday, April 14.

“The Fulton Day on Campus brings members of the production including the cast, director and manager, to the University to speak to students, faculty and staff,” said Victor Capecce, professor of communication and theatre. “Throughout the day, three sessions will be held for production members to speak about communication, theatre and marketing.”

The first session, “From Inspiration to Performance,” will have the director and actors discuss the development of a play, the process of adapting older works into a modern setting and the role and treatment of women within the work place.

Session two, “Michael Archangel’s Impact,” will have production members discuss historical connections, characterization and the design of “Michael Archangel,” along with the sharing of design renderings.

Session three, “Market This!” is for communication or public relations, marketing, graphic design, art design and business programs. The play “Michael Archangel” does not have the usual elements a Fulton production typically has and it offers marketing challenges, which will be discussed during the session on how to market theater.

Session one runs will from 9:30-10:45 a.m., session two from 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. and session three from 1-2:15 p.m. Anyone can attend the sessions; however, seating is limited. For more information on this year’s Fulton “Day on Campus,” contact Capecce at Victor.Capecce@millersville.edu or 717-872-3128.

“Michael Archangel” was written by playwright Joseph Lauinger and is the winner of the Fulton’s Discovery Project, a new biennial playwriting contest.
