Scene from Heritage Day 2010
Pictured here during Ohio Wesleyan’s Heritage Day event on November 11, is Will Pierce ’13 portraying professional Shakespearean actor Frederick Ward in a re-enactment of the 1885 scandal during which 60 OWU students were suspended from school for attending the performance of “Richard III” at the Delaware Opera House. As Bonnie Milne Gardner ’77, OWU theatre and dance professor explains, the mannequin in the background is sporting a female Shakespearean costume (the male costume is not visible in this photograph). The other students seated portrayed the shamed students who disobeyed the University rule forbidding attendance at “entertainments.” Seated to the left of Will is alumnus Kevin Barron ’07, who returned to pay tribute to the 2007 production of “Henry IV”, which was directed by theatre and dance professor Ed Kahn. Numerous other tributes were made to former OWU faculty and students who made significant contributions to Shakespeare’s plays over the years, explains Milne Gardner. Read more about Heritage Day.
Helping Habitat
American folk music singer and multi-instrumentalist John McCutcheon performed November 12 in Gray Chapel. The concert helped to raise awareness and funds for the joint Habitat for Humanity homebuilding project involving the OWU Habitat for Humanity chapter and Hayes High School Youth United chapter. Contributions still are being accepted for the summer project by the University Chaplain’s Office and the Delaware County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
