Emma Daitz Participates in Champlain College Theatre Production

2013 Feb 21

Emma Daitz a resident of Rochester, NY recently participated in the Champlain College Theatre production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

Daitz a Junior majoring in Graphic Design was a vital part of the Hamlet production team in the theatre's riveting performance, which took place over Feb. 13-16 and Feb. 20-23.

Directed by Champlain Professor Joanne Farrell, the show was put on with collaboration between Champlain students/faculty and local Burlington actors. "It is exciting to bring Hamlet to Champlain Theatre because the play is deeply concerned with the idea of theatre itself," said Farrell. "Almost every character is not who he or she seems to be: all are paying roles, whether self-imposed or not. In addition, we are aware that the "real" characters are played by actors, who are also not who they seem to be."

Champlain Theatre is a unique mix of professional actors, emerging artists, community members, faculty and students collaborating to present a dynamic and diverse range of performance events.
