IT’S RAINING, IT’S
POURING
As the 2005-2006 Theatrical
Season nears an end, you have one more opportunity
to see a production in SAU’s Studio Theatre.
Richard Greenberg’s play Three Days of Rain
is a big project for the Studio, and Michael
Kennedy’s directing debut in that space.
This two-act play focuses on
the relationships—both business and personal—of the
Wexler and Janeway families. The mostly silent Ned
Janeway and the overly ambitious Theo Wexler were
business partners in the 1960s, designing
architectural structures; they became famous when
they crafted the beautiful Janeway House.
Unfortunately, their success was short-lived as Theo
died in 1966 and Ned’s works became less and less
inspired. Ned married Lina, an emotionally
imbalanced Southern woman, and throughout their
shaky marriage, they had two children: Walker and
Nan.
Thirty years later, Walker has
just returned to New England. He’d been missing
since the day of his father’s funeral, one year
ago. Anxious and desperate to discover something
about his father, he has returned to meet with his
sister and their childhood friend (and Theo’s son),
Pip, to hear the reading of his will. An
unfortunate turn of events during the reading of the
will causes a confrontation, leading to Walker’s
disappearance again. He returns later that night,
with his father’s journal, a new discovery, and the
answers he feels he has been looking for. Act Two
shows us how events in 1960 really transpired
between Ned, Lina, and Theo, and we are given an
insight into the forging and breaking of their
relationships.
The script is written to be
double-cast and it consists of SAU Junior Andrew
Harvey (Walker/Ned), Sophomore Colleen Winters
(Nan/Lina), and Sophomore Jack Kloppenborg
(Pip/Theo). The production team is comprised of SAU
Junior Kristy Heithoff (Stage Manager), Junior Jacob
Kendall (Assistant Stage Manager), Dr. Corinne
Johnson (Costume Advisor), Junior Marianna Caldwell
(Costume Designer), Senior Aaron Hook (Scenic
Designer), Senior Scott Peake (Marketing), Senior
Jamie Booher (Lighting Design), Senior Jenny Stodd
(Props) and alumnus Joe Goodall (Lighting Designer).
What sets this Studio show
apart from others is that it has the possibility of
being performed at the Region V Kennedy Center
American College Theatre Festival in Ames, Iowa in
January 2007. Two representatives from schools
within the region will attend the performance and,
within 10 days, will decide whether or not they will
recommend the production to be considered for the
festival. If Three Days is considered, the
region selecting committee will meet in early
December and will then choose the productions to be
performed at the festival. This is not the first
SAU production to be entered into consideration for
the festival: in 2001, Anton in Show Business
was selected and was later performed at the
festival.
Three Days of Rain will
run on Friday, March 31st and Saturday,
April 1st at 7:30 pm and on Saturday,
April 1st and Sunday, April 2nd
at 3:00 pm in the Galvin Studio Theatre. Tickets
are $6 general admission and as seating is limited
to 50, reservations are strongly recommended.
Tickets may be reserved at the Galvin Box Office at
333-6251.

BROADWAY DIRECTOR
GIVES WORKSHOP TO SAU STUDENTS
Some people seem to think that
the trick to theatrical business is who you know. A
handful of students at St. Ambrose are learning that
it certainly can’t hurt!
The theatre students at SAU
have always been fortunate enough to know their
three professors (Dr. Cory Johnson, Michael Kennedy
and Kris Eitrheim), who seem to be “in the loop”
with numerous big names in theatre. Another “who
you know” advantage these students started seeing
are the three members of the SAU Theatre Advisory
Board. Todd Hensley, Bill Theisen (see additional
article) and Denny Hitchcock are three very
successful men in the theatrical business. Mr.
Hitchcock has recently opened the door to a great
opportunity for the St. Ambrose theatre community.
When Hitchcock, who now is the
owner and producer of Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse,
taught a directing class at Augustana College (Rock
Island, IL) several years ago, he had no inkling
that one of his students would someday be a Broadway
director. In 2003, Hitchcock was lucky enough to
attend the premier of the new hit Broadway show
Boy From Oz directed by Phil
McKinley—Hitchcock’s former student.
McKinley grew up in Avon, IL
and attended Augustana College where he was involved
with the theatre department. He has climbed the
ladder of success across the years, directing
several famous actors along the way; The Wizard
of Oz starring Phyllis Diller, Peter Pan
starring B.D. Wong, and of course, Boy From Oz
with the Tony Award winning actor Hugh Jackman.
McKinley also directed Barnum and Bailey’s 128th
Edition of The Greatest Show on Earth at
Madison Square Garden in New York, and directed the
world premier of Rhythm Ranch, a musical
which SAU presented in the fall of 2001.
Hitchcock has made it possible,
along with Dr. Cory Johnson, for St. Ambrose
students to meet with McKinley and be given a
personal workshop this March. On Friday, March 17th,
there will be an “Actor’s Studio Style” Interview
with McKinley, lead by Denny Hitchcock. The event
will take place from 2-4pm in Madsen Hall, located
in the music wing of the Galvin Fine Arts Center on
the St. Ambrose campus. The interview is open to
all and admission is free.
On Saturday, March 18th,
McKinley will lead a musical theatre workshop for
any SAU student who would like to perform. The
morning session is from 10am-1pm, and the afternoon
session is from 2:30-6pm. The workshop was designed
for the musical theatre class currently in progress
at SAU, but a few other students and a couple SAU
alumni are also participating. The participating
students consist of:
Kimberly Kurtenbach-Furness (Alum)
Tyson Danner
Jenny Stodd
Scott Peake
Sean Pankuch
Katie Danalewich
Jamie Johnson (Alum)
Sean Tweedale
Morgan Harrison
Marianna Caldwell
Christine Goodall
Rachel Mayer
Jaci Entwisle
Emily Kurash
Sarah Ulloa
Jack Kloppenborg
The participants were asked to
prepare one full song, a contrasting 16 bars of a
song, and a monologue that McKinley will work with
them on. The group is divided into two sections;
one performing in the morning and one in the
afternoon.
You can still be a part of this
event without performing. However, Mr. McKinley has
requested that audience members not come and go, and
commit to watching all of one or both sessions.
Don’t pass up this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether you are a
theatre student, or just really enjoy the theatre.
Mark down Friday March 17th and Saturday
March 18th in your calendars today—these
are events you will not want to miss!
The SAU Theatre Department
would like to send a big thank you their faculty and
members of the Theatre Advisory Board, especially
Denny Hitchcock, for making this opportunity
possible.

SAU THEATRE GOES
ACROSS THE GLOBE
St. Ambrose University strongly
encourages study abroad in many forms. They offer
both semester long experiences and two-week,
three-credit trips. The theatre department alone
offers a two-week program in both London and
Ireland. Next fall, two theatre majors are going to
venture abroad for a whole semester, Marianna
Caldwell and Andrew Harvey.
Marianna Caldwell:
Where are you going to study
abroad?
London, England.
How did you decide where to
go?
I want to make as many
connections in the theatrical world both in the U.S.
and elsewhere, and what better place than the West
End?
What steps did you have to
go through to apply for a college and living outside
of the United States?
Finding what program is right
for me, then deciding what affiliation to go through
to apply to that program. Then renewing my passport
and my ISIC card (International Student
Identification Card), as well as looking into visas
and work permits.
What financial challenges
are there to studying abroad vs. going to St.
Ambrose?
An exhorbitant amount! London
is one of the most expensive places to live on
earth, and scholarships are few and competitive.
Why would you encourage
others to study abroad?
There is so much more out in
the world than one could ever experience at one
university, and I can't even begin to describe how
much living abroad throughout my life has shaped me
as a person.
What is going to be the
curriculum at the college you are studying at?
In the Fall, I will be
finishing my B.A., but will also be focusing heavily
on Shakespeare, as well as getting myself oriented
to the London theatre scene.
Who helped you in your
decision to study abroad?
Besides myself, knowing this
was something I had to do and wanted to do, my
parents. They have been advocators of studying
abroad my entire life and were instrumental in the
decision to expand my semester into a full year
abroad.
Andrew Harvey
Where are you going to study
abroad?
I'm going to study (my
application is pending right now, so I'll cross my
fingers) at St. Patrick's in Carlow City, Ireland.
It's in County Carlow.
How did you decide where to
go?
My original plan was to study
in Belfast in Northern Ireland. But when Dr. James
Heaney visited Ambrose last fall, I had a few good
chats with him, and he convinced me to take a look
at Carlow.
What steps did you have to
go through to apply for a college and living outside
of the United States?
First and foremost, I had to
get an application for the program from Dr. Jon
Stauff in the International Studies Department.
Beyond that--I'm not sure yet, since I haven't
received an acceptance letter yet.
What financial challenges
are there to studying abroad vs. going to St.
Ambrose?
I can only take $2000 of
Ambrose scholarships with me overseas to pay for the
tuition there; that leaves me with (I think) a $9000
gap to make up. The Euro is pretty strong right now
compared to American currency, so I will lose a very
good chunk of change as I convert my money over
there. This makes everything seem very expensive in
Ireland.
Why would you encourage
others to study abroad?
To learn about other cultures
first-hand! We Americans tend to be sheltered and
we enjoy this feeling; it's as if we are too secure
in our belief that we are the world's greatest
power, and therefore we are not pushed enough to
explore the world beyond our borders. This is a
terrible mindframe and one that needs to be
corrected.
What is going to be the
curricuum at the college you are studying at?
Carlow offers Irish equivalents
of Ambrose Gen. Eds. and some other specialized
courses; I think I am trying to get into the 3rd and
4th year courses over there that are much more
specialized in the History and Literature fields. I
don't know what these courses will be yet as Dr.
Heaney has informed me they are currently working on
finishing next year's curriculum.
Who helped you in your
decision to study abroad?
Ted Stephens III gave me the
push I needed last year; I'd been bumming out
because I didn't have the money to pay for the
3-week Theatre in Ireland course and I thought a
loan would come back to bite me someday, but he
convinced me otherwise. I also read a lot of Irish
History so I'd have to say that Dr. Dye, Michael
Collins, and James Connolly also gave me a push.

Advisory Board
Interview With Bill Theisen
This is the final installment
of the interviews with the members of the St.
Ambrose Theatre Advisory Board. For those new to the
newsletter, the Advisory Board consists of three
members (professionals in the theatre business) who
meet annually to give their input on the upcoming
season’s shows, course offerings, and make certain
that the SAU theatre department is staying current
and giving students the best educational theatrical
experience possible. Featured this month is William
(Bill) Theisen, the Artistic Director for the
Skylight Opera Theatre in Milwaukee, WI.
Theisen hails from Milwaukee,
and attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI
in the early 1980’s. He did not do his first show
until he was 20 years old, but says “…once I started
doing theatre there was no turning back.” Beginning
as a performer, Theisen eventually moved on to
direct as well. He continued to perform, both in
musical and non-musical theatre, but focused mostly
on directing. After a few years of performing and
directing he got into opera. With opera he did some
performing, but mainly focused on directing.
Theisen was hired in July 2004
as the Artistic Director for the Skylight Opera
Theatre, which has been in existence for 47 years.
Interestingly enough, the Skylight is where Theisen
had his first professional job as an actor. After
his first job there he traveled around the country
for about 20 years making many connections in the
theatre business. Prior to being hired as Artistic
Director, Theisen returned to the Skylight as a
guest performer and director. Although he is now
permanently located in Wisconsin, Theisen feels it
is very important and his biggest challenge as
Artistic Director to keep contact with the rest of
the world as to stay updated on new work, so he can
bring it to enrich the Skylight Opera Theatre. Of
Milwaukee and the Skylight Opera Theatre, Theisen
says, “Milwaukee is a very strong theatre town. We
have 14 equity companies here and they represent all
forms of theatre. The Skylight produces all forms of
musical theatre- from opera to Broadway to musical
revues. We also produce brand new work as well as
finding gems from the '20's and '30's… the local
talent pool is quite extraordinary.”
Theisen did not set out
intending to be an Artistic Designer. However, when
considering his past combined experiences, he
realized he had acquired “all the tools needed to
take a position like this.” When asked what the best
part of his job was, Theisen says, “…choosing all
the productions and then putting together the
creative teams as well as doing all the casting…
having the opportunity to bring those [shows] works
to the Skylight stage is unbelievably rewarding.” He
says the initial design meetings for shows are
extremely vital. These meetings occur sometimes
eight months prior to even the first rehearsal.
Theisen is in charge of putting together the
creative teams, as well as casting the shows. Of his
work he states, “It is truly a thrilling job.”
In addition to serving on the
Advisory Board for two years at the SAU Theatre,
Theisen has also been a guest performer and director
at Ambrose, and declares “…I am really blown away by
the quality and commitment of the work done there.”
He feels that the Advisory Board’s purpose is to
offer “ideas and options to the faculty.” He has
been greatly impressed by the staff’s hard work,
dedication, and eagerness to use the advice given to
them. Theisen believes theatres purpose is to
entertain as well as educate, and the Advisory Board
is helping make certain that happens at Ambrose.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SUMMER WORK
With spring break just around
the corner, many Ambrose students are starting to
look ahead and make plans for the summer. For
theatre students, there are many opportunities to
stay involved and gain more experience on stage or
backstage (while earning that extra cash!). Over
the next few months, the newsletter will keep you
updated on students who have taken advantage of
these opportunities.
Tyson Danner is a junior
majoring in music. This summer, he will be working
on two shows. Danner will be appearing onstage in
the Quad Cities Music Guild’s production of Aida
and will be music director for an independent
production of The Secret Garden. Danner’s
rehearsals for Aida will keep him busy
beginning in late April until the show’s opening in
early June. For more information on showtimes and
directions, see the company’s website at
www.qcmusicguild.com. The second
show, which will benefit the Children’s Therapy
Center of the Quad Cities, is Danner’s second
collaboration with a friend from Millikin University
in Decatur, Illinois. Last year, the two worked
together on a production of Ragtime.
Auditions for The Secret Garden will be held
at the North Scott High School Music Room on March
18 and 19 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Rehearsals, then,
will begin in late June for an August run.
Sam Michael is a recent
graduate in theatre and art education. After being
hired last year as a carpenter for the American
Players Theatre in Spring Green, Wisconsin, Michael
expressed interest in becoming assistant technical
director. After submitting his resume and being
interviewed, he was given the job. In late March,
Michael will attend designer meetings to form
initial plans for the season and start budgeting.
Then, he will work full time from April 17 through
August 20. For more information on the American
Players’ season, visit their website at
www.playinthewoods.org.
Sarah Ulloa is a
sophomore majoring in music and theatre. Like
Danner, Ulloa has been cast in the Quad Cities Music
Guild’s production of Aida. For her initial
audition, Ulloa performed sixteen measures of a song
and read from the script for five members of the
production team. About the audition, Ulloa says
“Singing in front of people is no problem for me,
but reading from the script gets me nervous. I
normally warm up and take time to sit down and relax
before I go into my audition. This usually takes
about a half hour or so”. After being called back
to audition the following weekend, Ulloa was cast in
the role of Nehebka. Check the Music Guild’s
website at
www.qcmusicguild.com for
information on show dates and times.
Marianna Caldwell is a
junior majoring in theatre. Caldwell has expressed
great interest in Shakespeare within the last year,
and auditioned in early February for Riverside
Theatre in Iowa City, IA. The company has a group
of interns who learn alongside equity actors while
getting a chance to perform Shakespeare as well. “I
walked out of the audition feeling really great
about it,” Caldwell explained. “I was overjoyed to
get the call.” Caldwell explains that she will be
performing a small role in The Tempest and is
unaware right now of all the things they have in
store for her in Iowa City.
These talented students are
only a few planning to work in the theatre this
coming summer. Be sure to check in again next month
for more!

Mark Your Calendars
for the Galvins!
It’s time to get your fancy
duds out of the closet and prepare for the grand
finale of the 2005-2006 St. Ambrose Theatre Season!
That’s right, the Galvins are quickly
approaching us. For those who are unfamiliar with
this event, the Galvins are a night for those
involved in any aspect of the St. Ambrose Theatre
Department over the past year. It is a fun night
out, and gives the members of the department an
excuse to socialize without a production meeting!
The evening includes social hour, dinner, and awards
acknowledging accomplishments over the past season
of shows. Awards are given for random funny mishaps,
technical achievements, Rookie of the Year, and
Outstanding Senior among others. This year the
festivities will be held on the evening of Saturday
May 6, 2006 at The Lodge Hotel in Bettendorf, IA.
Details are still in the works, but dinner will cost
approximately $20, and there will be a small
facility cost for those people coming only to
awards. (Although we are strongly encouraging that
everyone join us for dinner!) Invitations will be
sent out in the near future, but be sure to mark
your calendars today for Saturday May 6!
As is tradition, a Senior
Salute is in the works to honor the graduating
seniors and all of their hard work and
accomplishments over the past years. Below is a list
of the graduating seniors we have to date. If you
are a graduating senior, or know of a graduating
senior not included, please email the Callboard at
SAUCallboard@yahoo.com. Please
note: we are including seniors who have already
graduated in December or will graduate in

next December or next May, you will be included in
next years’ Senior Salute. Thanks for your help and
cooperation!!
