GINT

Feb. 23, 24, 25 at 7:30pm and 2:00pm Feb. 26

Wells Theatre

 

GINT, an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt written by Romulus Linney, opens the Spring, 2006 semester of activity at the Monmouth College Theatre. Performances of GINT will be Feb. 23, 24, 25 at 7:30 pm, and 2:00 pm Feb. 26. Performances will be held in the Wells Theater, located at the corner of 9th and Broadway on the Monmouth College campus. Tickets are $4 for Monmouth College students and staff, $5 for other students and senior citizens, $6 for adults and may be reserved by contacting Dr. Bill Wallace at (309) 457-2374 or billw@monm.edu. Due to mature language and subject matter, GINT is not considered suitable for young children.

 

GINT is a wonderful challenge for us. The show covers over 80 years and features adventures from all across the globe, so the script puts a premium on ensemble work and creativity. While three performers, Chris Walljasper as Gint, Sara Youngs as Oldie Momma, and Stephanie Haas as Sally Vicks play single characters, the other 7 performers take over 45 roles in the show. The other members of the cast include Tiela Halpin as Younger Woman, Kelly Winfrey as Woman, Holly Sanders as Younger Man/Woman, John McElligott as Man, Greg Malak as Older Man, Kelsey Cole as Other Woman, and Ellen Ehrenhart as Older Woman.

 

The story chronicles the life of Pete Gint, beginning with his youth in the mountains of Appalachia and following his world wide adventures as he interacts with many fantastical characters. GINT will be a challenge for the audience, because the episodic nature of the piece and its content will stretch many comfort zones. It is, though, a remarkably effective adaptation of Ibsen’s master work, and a tale worth our consideration.

 

GINT is designed by Professor Doug Rankin, with lighting design by senior Kim Hurley. Junior Leanna Wilson is serving as the Assistant Director. The play is directed by Chris Sorensen and Bill Wallace.

Case study on Oprah and the changing communication in the media fields

 

Prof. Gronbeck is a traditionally trained rhetorician; and as such, has grown as an academic from the earliest commitment to how public discourse shapes society in a polis, that needs to be committed to the highest standards of arête.  While he has engaged all of the recent technological changes that has transformed culture and has published heavily on the works of Walter Ong, his articulation of the need for effective public political discourse is moving.  Gronbeck has served ad a visiting senior scholar throughout the world, and his work is interculturally sensitive.

 

Gronbeck is the former President of the National Communication Association and the A. Craig Baird Distinguished Professor of Public Address. He works primarily in rhetorical and media studies, with particular interests in television and politics. He teaches and writes about 20th-century American cultural studies, contemporary visual politics. He is Director of the University of Iowa Center for Media Studies and Political Culture.
