PORT ANGELES — David Salsa and Christine Albright, a pair of actors from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Ore., will bring some classic and modern drama and comedy to the stage at Peninsula College’s Little Theater today.
Their performances are slated for 9:10 a.m. and 12:35 p.m. at the college at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., and both are free to the public.
The morning program, “The Thrill of the Fight,” features segments from the 2010 Ashland season, including two plays by John Cleese and Graham Chapman, “The Argument Clinic” and “The Parrot Sketch,” and two by Shakespeare, including “The Taming of the Shrew” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream;” from the novel The Princess Bride by William Goldman; and from the short play “The Ferris Wheel” by Mary Miller.
In the lunchtime program, the actors will stage highlights from an adaptation of Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar.”
Albright and Salsa are part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s School Visit Program, designed to present the works of Shakespeare and other great writers in fresh ways to engage students and other community members.
The Peninsula College appearance by the Ashland actors is sponsored by the Foothills Writers Series, the Studium Generale program and the PC English Division.
