College theater arts majors? They’re the slightly older version of the teenagers in the hit television show “Glee,” ready to put on a show whenever the mood strikes, complete with full orchestra and spiffy costumes, sets and lighting, right?
o behind the scenes of any FDU College at Florham theater production,from auditions to show time, and you’ll find enthusiastic andenergetic undergraduates who commit to five weeks of Monday-through-Friday evening rehearsals and a week of performances. Everyplay — four each academic year, including a spring musical — representshundreds of hours of rehearsal, set construction and backstagework by student volunteers who are guided by an experienceddirector (often an FDU faculty member) and professional costume, set andlighting designers.
Follow with us the fall production of “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” the visual and performing arts department’s first work by William Shakespeare — and the first such play for nearly all of the actors. Stephen Hollis, the London-trained founding director of the FDU theater arts program, who has worked with England’s Royal Shakespeare Company and teaches Acting Shakespeare at FDU, is the director.
