<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;">(Akron, OH)— The
University of Akron School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration presents
the lively vintage farce <b><i>Scapin</i></b> by 17<sup>th</sup> Century French
playwright Molière running Oct. 14–23, 2010, in Sandefur Theatre in Guzzetta
Hall on the UA campus. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span>
</span>Guest Artist Terry Burgler, Artistic Director of Ohio Shakespeare
Festival, brings his own spin on the show to the university. Burgler has served
as artistic director and producer of ten professional companies and directed,
acted in, and produced more than 300 productions. Additionally he has numerous
credits as a designer and playwright. He has won dozens of awards for Best
Director, Best Production and Best Actor in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey as well as the 2007 Outstanding Theatre Artist Award from Arts Alive
here in Northeast Ohio. In Burgler’s adaptation, the rascally title character Scapin
(portrayed by University of Akron Junior Theatre major Alex Funk) balances his
penchant for mayhem and mischief with a promise to help two pairs of wide-eyed
lovers overcome the objections of two headstrong fathers. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;">Performances of <b><i>Scapin</i></b>
