Browsing: Baylor Theatre’s production

Baylor Theatre’s constantly moving department has been rehearsing for the next show for the semester. The play, “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment: The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (as told by himself),” was cast in the closing days of the production of “Legally Blonde.”

Salem, N.H., graduate student John Michael Sefel, the play’s director, said the audition process for this particular play was unique.

“Many shows ask for a certain look from the actors,” Sefel said. “This one is about the performers.”

Baylor Theatre has been perfecting its bend and snap for “Legally Blonde,” the delightfully-ditzy first production of the 2013-2014 season.

Baylor’s production of the smash Broadway musical has not been adapted from the original script, said Dr. Stan Denman, chairman of the theater department and director of “Legally Blonde.”

The story revolves around Elle Woods, a vain and seemingly airheaded sorority girl determined to win back her hunky ex-boyfriend, Warner, by getting into Harvard Law School. According to Denman, Woods evolves into a person of integrity whose story empowers women.

Murder, mystery, comedy: all the themes of the fast-paced mystery set in 1935 Britain comes to life in Jones Theatre beginning at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

Baylor’s theater department presents “The 39 Steps,” a multi-role murder mystery involving spies, romantic entanglements, murder, suspense and police.

A 2,500 year old Eurepides classic is getting a steampunk makeover in the Baylor Theatre’s production of “Hecuba,” showing nightly until the weekend.

The show itself was truly a work of art. From the beginning to the end, the actors and actresses, including Michael Griffin as Polydorus and Nellsyn Hill as Hecuba, helped bring the performance to life through pure emotion.

Though the story contains historical elements, Waco graduate student and director Christopher Peck says the play speaks for itself.
