“Follow Me in Merry Measure:” A re-envisioned Madrigal Dinner
|
|
|
Heard too many Christmas carols? The Radford University Choral Ensemble thinks not! And to show their holiday exuberance they present a re-envisioned 30th Annual Madrigal Dinner the first weekend in December.
New Choral Director, Meredith Bowen, brings a fresh approach to the traditional program.
“The music will all be holiday selections,” she said. “The script is performed throughout instead of in one spot. All the choral ensemble singers (60) are participating. And it is all student led!”

A modern heroine, Junie B. comes to Radford University’s Theatre for Young Audiences
|
|
|
From the stalwart Joan of Arc to the keen Portia, dramatic heroines run the gamut from the lowly to the sublime. And Junie B. Jones, spunky first-grader known for her signature purple glasses, fits right into this grand company. Audiences of Radford University’s Theatre for Young Audiences’ production of “Junie B. in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells,” will see the beloved Junie B. and all her friends spring vividly to life when the play opens at Pridemore Playhouse in early December.
Though Junie B. herself may not seem very Shakespearian, director and assistant professor of Theatre, Molly Hood, believes Theatre for Young Audiences is closer to the Bard’s work than one might think. Hood’s theatrical specialty is Shakespeare.
