• About

  Craig Paré, director of bands
  Orcenith Smith, orchestra director

  This shared program of wind music, led by Director of Bands Craig Paré, and string repertoire, under the baton of DePauw University Orchestra director Orcenith Smith, offers appealing variety. DePauw University Band selections include October by Eric Whitacre, Lauds (Praise High Day) by Ron Nelson, and The American Dream by music professor emeritus James Beckel. In addition, the program features two music faculty members as guest soloists in Joseph Turrin's Fandango: William Rabun, trumpet, and Adam Bell, trombone. Strings will contribute the Moderato from Antonin Dvorak's elegant Serenade for Strings, along with the Allegro from Italian baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto Grosso in D Minor, and American George Gershwin's Lullaby for Strings—adding a tip of the hat to Halloween with "The Witches' Dance" from English composer Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas.
  
  The audience is encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to the concert, 100% of which will be donated to the Putnam County Emergency Food Pantry. In particular, the pantry is needing items that are protein-based: canned meats and fish (canned beef, stews, and tuna), peanut butter, canned beans, soups, and Velveeta or similar processed cheese products.

A Servant of Two Masters

a DePauw Theatre

• Date & Time Thursday, November 6 - Sunday, November 9

• Location Moore Theatre

• Organized by DePauw Theatre

• About

  A SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS
  By Carlos Goldoni and Translated by Edward J. Dent
  Adapted and Directed by Caroline Good

  In the tradition of commedia dell'arte, traveling acting troupes playing stock characters challenged social norms and politics in the guise of entertainment. In this classic comedy set in Venice, mayhem erupts when the wily—and chronically hungry—servant Arlecchino hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once amidst the intrigue of lovers, misers, and blowhards. Identities are mistaken, engagements are broken, swords are drawn, and lovers are finally reunited in this adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s commedia dell’arte masterpiece.
  November 6–9, 2025, Moore Theatre, GCPA — 7:30 p.m. (Nov. 6–8) & 3 p.m. (Nov. 9)

  Tickets available two weeks before opening night here or at the box office one hour before the start time.
