Abstract

Flachmann: Welcome to the Actor Roundtable, the final event of this year’s Wooden O Symposium, a three-day conference for students and scholars of Shakespeare’s plays. My name is Michael Flachmann, and I’m the Utah Shakespeare Festival Company Dramaturg. I’ll be moderator for our Actor Roundtable discussion on The Tempest. First, I’d like to introduce the actors: Henry Woronicz, who plays Prospero; Melinda Parrett, Ariel; Corey Jones, Caliban; Melisa Pereyra, Miranda; and Fred Stone, Alonso.
