Sterling College is pleased to announce the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the C.S.

The ceremony will take place on Monday, March 24, at 10 a.m., inside Mabee Library on the Sterling College campus.

It’s often heralded as the world’s most beloved comedy. In it, an enchanted forest becomes the perfect setting for the follies and foibles of love-sick humans, mischievous fairies, and amateur actors putting on a play. It’s Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” which will be staged by Sterling College Theatre on Friday and Saturday, March 7 and 8, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 9, at 2 p.m. in Culbertson Auditorium on the College campus. 

A dress made some 140 years ago recently stepped into the spotlight for Sterling College Theatre’s production of the play A Doll’s House, Part 2. 

The show is set in 1894, 15 years after Henrik Ibsen’s original in which the main character Nora Helmer walks out the door on her husband and children. In PART 2, Nora returns as a successful writer of some wealth. 

Rather than creating a new dress in an 1890’s style, SC Artistic Director and Costume Designer for this show, Lesa Brown happened on a picture-perfect actual period dress that is estimated to be about 140 years old.
