The man of principles is just a role we play."

Welcome, Don Juan readers!
I am happy to share my journey into the role of Don Juan with my students this year. I look forward to hearing your comments as you read along.
This new play is based on Dom Juan or Le Festin de Pierre by the French author Moliere, newly translated by Daniel Hoyt Daniels. The director is Barbara Leavel Smith, who directed my first community theater efforts in 2016 with Shakespeare's As You Like It at the Sand Lake Center for the Arts. This new play will be performed in late May and early June at the Ghent Playhouse.
Don Juan, the Libertine, is described as: "Don Juan’s life of insolence, debauchery and philandering ways have left his valet believing that such behavior will only bring his master to an evil end. While actually detesting Don Juan’s actions, the valet has remained faithful, frequently cautioning his master. But how will God tolerate Don Juan’s insolence and arrogance? This is one of Don Juan’s greatest escapades."
Look forward to more posts and updates on this site as well as on our Google Classroom site.
