Not-So-Royal Shakespeare’s ‘The Merchant of Venice’

Caelin Miltko | Friday, March 3, 2017

Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” is this semester’s play of choice for Notre Dame’s Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Company. “The Merchant of Venice” is a complicated show, and some of its themes are made even more complicated by the current political climate. It tells the story of Antonio, Bassanio, Portia and Shylock. It is half marriage-plot comedy

FTT’s ‘I and You’

Caelin Miltko | Thursday, March 2, 2017

Lauren Gunderson’s 2014 “I and You” revolves around the story of Caroline, a chronically ill teenage girl, who is visited by a mysterious boy, insisting that he needs her to help him with his project about Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” From the start, the Film, Television and Theater Department’s latest production feels a little

Weekly Watch: ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’

Caelin Miltko | Monday, January 30, 2017

After the 2004 movie rendition of Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” Netflix’s announcement of a TV version was both exciting and unnerving. The movie was a bit of a flop — and despite Netflix’s reputation for well-made original series, it was not clear this version would be much better. Still, there were signs of hope

Gender-bending and skillful acting impress in ‘Hamlet’

Caelin Miltko | Friday, November 11, 2016

Shakespeare is widely considered the most flexible and applicable writer in the English language. His plays have been reinvented for centuries to suit different time periods and struggles. Notre Dame’s latest production of “Hamlet” works with that assumption, using the play as a framework to deal with modern collegiate struggles. The directors of the Not-So-Royal Shakespeare Co.’s

PEMCo delivers dark humor in ‘Merrily We Roll Along’

Caelin Miltko | Thursday, November 3, 2016

College undergraduates often look to the future with unbridled optimism, though the details of life after university can be murky. Pasquerilla East Musical Company’s latest production, “Merrily We Roll Along,” examines the dark side of post-graduate life and what happens when one compromises principles to make money. “Merrily We Roll Along” is a Stephen Sondheim musical

Irish, the language

Caelin Miltko | Wednesday, October 5, 2016

I’m about a semester and a half from finishing a supplementary major in Irish language. It’s been a wonderful three years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with professors on anthropological research, study ancient literature, conduct my own research and spend a full 12 months in Ireland. It’s also been three years full of questions.

ND Theatre NOW

Caelin Miltko | Monday, October 3, 2016

Artistic criticism can take shape through either comedy or drama — and this year’s ND Theatre NOW plays explore both paths for instigating change. ND Theatre NOW is an annual program run by the Department of Film, Television and Theatre. Every two years, a selection of one-act plays written by students is performed and directed by

‘Monk’s Tale’ revisits presidential years

Caelin Miltko | Monday, September 19, 2016

Father Edward “Monk” Malloy released the final installment of his three-part memoir on Aug. 25 and a book launch at Notre Dame followed on Sept. 14. “Monk’s Tale: The Presidential Years” completes a project Malloy originally intended to be a single book, until he began writing his childhood years — the first book — and realized a

‘Wicked’ lands in South Bend

Caelin Miltko | Monday, September 12, 2016

Theatre season at Notre Dame is currently in the eye of the dramatic storm. The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival concluded before the end of August, and the first FTT plays won’t premiere until the very end of the month. But the drought on campus need not be the end of the story for theatre-goers —

One step forward, two steps back: ‘You’re the Worst’ returns for season 3

Caelin Miltko | Friday, September 2, 2016

There’s something very enticing about watching fictional characters behave as total trainwrecks. And, while in movies (like “Trainwreck”), the characters might finally get it together, TV shows have a tendency to let their characters mature a bit, only to backslide in the next episode, season, or arc. Shows like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “You’re the Worst”
