Wake Forest Department of Theatre and Dance
(詳細はWake Forest University which instructs students in theatre and dance and puts on four productions each school season and maintains the university's theatre. The department is based at the Scales Fine Arts Center on campus.〔 The department cooperates with other branches of the university to focus to contemporary topics in the media by sponsoring films and other activities, lectures and workshops, charitable events and guest performers. In 2011, the department has eleven full-time theatre faculty and five full-time dance faculty.
==University theatre==
The university theatre has been offering plays and musicals since 1942.〔 In the first decade of the twenty-first century, there have been four main productions during each annual school season, and feature musicals, comedies, drama and tragedies. The theatre is led by John E. R. Friedenberg, a senior lecturer who has taught at Wake Forest since 1990 and who serves on the boards of several theatre and arts organizations. Friedenberg and several other directors take turns working on different productions, and typically direct one production each academic year. The program makes use of the MainStage theatre in the Scales Center as well as the Ring Theatre. In addition, the theatre is the venue for other types of productions, such as one-person performances.
Many productions combine skills from theatre and dance professors and tackle sometimes unusual projects. For example, the production ''Sonnets for an Old Century'' featured "newly dead" persons in an airy space who were encouraged by the "experienced dead" to make a statement to the world, and to relate stories of their lives. In the Wake Forest production of ''Smash'', a socialist millionaire infiltrates an upper-class school for girls to try to plant the seed of socialism into their young minds since they may become "future cabinet ministers", but the comedy erupts into love triangles, mistaken identities, and light-hearted look at Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The play ''Three Penny Opera'' was first performed in Germany in 1928, and it needed minor adjustments to make it work for modern audiences, such as modeling the character Peachum on Bernie Madoff:
Theatre productions have won positive reviews. ''Sonnets for an Old Century'' won plaudits for having a "strong ensemble performances".〔 Friedenberg's production of ''Three Penny Opera'' kept the audience "fully engaged" including "more-than-risqué costumes" and excellent music, according to one report. The production of John Steinbeck's ''The Grapes of Wrath'' in 2011 was praised for its "stagecraft" and was described as an "ambitious and admirable" take on "challenging material." The production of ''Eurydice'' was described as a "crazy salad of ideas about music, words, living in the present and remembering the past." Directing, according to Friedenberg, is not about multitasking but rather having the "experience and context to be able to figure out which tree needs attention when you look at the forest." It is a process of breaking down complex productions into smaller steps and approaching them in the right order. He added "I think the most important part of the learning curve is to trust yourself, to know your team and how they work, and to know when to push and when to wait." In 2011, Friedenberg recruited playwright John Cariani and star of the TV show ''Law & Order'' to work with Wake Forest theater students during their dress rehearsal phase of Cariani's play ''Almost, Maine''.
