The enti re play, from the on-stage talent to the techn ical workers, was brought to the stage by Harding University students, according to Mario Hofheinz, director. "I am in awe of the cast and crew coming tOgether so successfully," he sai d. Hofheinz said he decided to do the play after seeing the movie "Shakespeare in Love. " "When I read the play [Romeo and juliet], 1 saw a different way of viewi ng the whole scrip t," he said. "1 wanted to do the script for its own sake and not for the legend it had become. " Under Hofheinz's direction , Heidi Cox, sen ior, said she was able to bener explore her character, Lady Montague. "It was an oppon unity to create a character almost entirely because there was so little dialogue," she said. Bringing the play to the stage required commitment and long practices, according to Hofheinz. .' "I don't think 1could be more proud of the people who made it happen," he said. "It turned out much greater than 1 had hopedwhen 1first began to conceive the idea." -Satah Terry
