“We did very much to change the Tragedians. Other examples of tragedians are not as vulgar as we made them because they are more light-hearted in that the characters are painted as clowns. Our Tragedians are more shocking and turn to madness,” Lett said.
From the perspective of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the behavior of Hamlet, played by AnthonyBuonomo (COL ’16), is largely nonsensical and absurd.
“It’s a completely different role to Hamlet in Shakespeare’s version. I never realized how insane and unnecessary some of his actions are in Shakespeare’s version. This is something I only thought about when looking at the character from such a different perspective,” said Buonomo.
The humor of the play extends beyond merely Hamlet’s role. Many of the characters are integral in drawing out laughs from the audience.
It is easy to get sucked in by the heavy, overbearing questions dealt to the audience by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, but that should not distract anyone from enjoying the other elements of the show.
“Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead” runs from Oct. 24 to Oct. 26 at 8 p.m., Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. and from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for students and $12 for general admission.

For the last two days I've offered advice on managing TV-recording storage in Windows Media Center. But what if your PC isn't equipped to record TV? Those tips won't do you much good.
So let's take a look at the missing piece of the puzzle: a TV tuner. This simple accessory lets you watch and record shows right on your PC, much like you'd do with a TiVo.
Although a handful of manufacturers make desktop-PC tuner cards that install in a PCI slot, the easiest option is a USB tuner. ADS Tech, AverMedia, and Hauppauge are among the companies that offer such products, with prices usually running $99 or less.
Be sure to choose a tuner that supports both ATSC and NTSC signals so you can connect an antenna (for over-the-air digital broadcasts) or your cable company's cable. Want both? Just add a second tuner.
As for the software, for my money there's no better solution than Windows Media Center, which comes preloaded with Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, and all versions of Windows 7 except Starter.
WMC makes it snap not only to record, watch, and time-shift shows, TiVo-style, but also to copy shows to DVD and some portable media players. If you have a PC in your den, bedroom, etc., and want to turn it into one seriously good DVR, all you need is an inexpensive tuner.
Thanks to the “nuclear option” there’s very little chance Yellen’s nomination will fail — Joe Manchin appears to be her only Democratic opponent — but it now seems likely that most Senate Republicans will oppose the most qualified Fed nominee since the institution was founded.
That’s true, which means this has become sort of a litmus test for wingnuttery. There’s simply no serious reason to oppose Yellen, who is outstandingly qualified to be Fed chair by virtually any measure. So opposition to Yellen is now a pretty simple proposition: you oppose her if you’re some kind of hard money lunatic...

Australian star Nicole Kidman and newcomer Adrien Brody on Sunday won the top acting Oscars as the steamy musical "Chicago" dominated an Academy Awards show shaken by anti-war protests.
Kidman, 35, defied the odds by snatching the best actress trophy for her role as Virginia Woolf in the fraught drama "The Hours" that bookies and experts had predicted "Chicago's" Renee Zellweger would win.
And Oscars history was made when 29-year-old Adrien Brody won the best actor statuette for his role as a Holocaust survivor in "The Pianist," becoming the youngest ever recipient of the award and the only one ever to win in the face of competition from four previous Oscar laureates.
But "Chicago" remained ahead in the Oscars race after winning five statuettes including best supporting actress for Catherine Zeta-Jones in a show haunted by the spectre of conflict in Iraq.
Famed US documentary maker Michael Moore stunned the star-studded audience when he used his win of an Oscar for his anti-gun documentary "Bowling For Columbine" to launch a violent attack on US President George W. Bush and the war, drawing loud boos from the audience.
"We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons," he said.
"We are against this war Mr Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you!," he told the loudly booing audience of 3,500 people including most of Hollywood's royalty.
While other stars also made references to the war, which many Hollywood personalities oppose, Moore's protest was by far the most vitriolic.
Chris Cooper became the first celebrity to speak up for peace when he won the best supporting actor Oscar for his gritty best supporting actor role as horticulturalist John Laroche in the dark comedy "Adaptation."
And one of the Oscar presenters Gael Garcia Bernal, who starred in the Oscar nominated movie "Frida," broke the Oscars' cardinal rule this year by diverging from his script and speaking out against the war.
Even Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Frank Pierson evoked the conflict, with messages to both US troops in the Gulf and the Iraqi people.
"God speed and lets get you home soon," he said to the US forces, adding: "To the Iraqi people -- let's have peace soon and let you live without war."
The Oscars telecast was interrupted twice to bring live news of the bombing campaign in Iraq, while host Steve Martin began the evening by quipping about the lack of glitz at the toned-down red carpet arrivals ceremony.
Accepting her award in a long black evening gown, the redhead said she had been asked why she was attending the Oscar when the world was in such turmoil.
"Because art is important and because you believe in what you do and you want to honour that and it's a tradition that needs to be upheld," she said to thunderous applause.
Weeping, she spoke of the pain of families who lose relatives in wars, and then turned to her own family: "My whole life I've wanted to make my mother proud and now I want to make my daughter proud."
Welsh-born Catherine Zeta-Jones took the best supporting actress statuette for her role as a murderous songstress in "Chicago", adding to four others: best costume design, art direction, sound and best cinematography.
"Chicago," the tale of greed, murder and jazz in the Windy City in the 1920s is nominated for 13 Oscars and appeared to be heading for a definitive victory, tempered by Kidman's win..
Its competition included the drama "The Hours," with nine nods, "The Pianist" with seven 10-times nominated epic "Gangs of New York."
Brody, weeping as he received his statuette for his role in Roman Polanski's film, said he was saddened to accept at award "at such a strange time."
"Whoever you believe in, whether it is God or Allah, may he watch over you and let's pray for a swift resolution," he said to loud applause.
He won the Oscar from under the noses of movie greats and Oscar winners Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine and Nicholas Cage.
Hollywood's biggest night got underway after days of nail biting over whether war would derail the show, with stars turning out in force and in style, many flashing peace signs as they arrived or wearing peace badges.
But despite fears that top Tinseltown draws might boycott cinema's top honours, due to concerns they would appear insensitive in celebrating their industry while war is raging in Iraq, it was alright on the night.
Some celebrities did pull out, including actors Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson whose film picked up the best visual effects and sound editing gongs.
While glamour and style were everywhere, the fashion tone at this year's Oscars was muted compared to other years.

An alleged space invader is disrupting plans for a new pot shop in a Spokane industrial park, prompting calls of “shenanigans” from an unusual ally.
Pot shop Smokane, located to the west of the East Town Shopping Center, received permits from the city in August 2016 to move to an East Spokane industrial park. Seven months later, its application for a license to begin selling marijuana – a license that is issued by the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board – was reje...
According to city ordinance, pot shops cannot be licensed within 1,000 feet of any business that caters specifically to kids, arcades among them.
The arcade consists of four operating cabinets, three pinball machines and ping pong and foosball tables. It charges no admission fee, and had no customers when the Spokesman-Review visited Thursday. The single employee on site said he was a volunteer.
The abrupt denial of the license, after Smokane had already secured its building permits, has drawn a curious ally to the pot shop’s cause: City Councilman Mike Fagan, who has, in the past, criticized the marijuana industry and supported efforts to suppress its spread in the city.
Fagan and others question the legitimacy of the arcade, as well as its suppressive effect on what is effectively a new player in a competitive market. “By all appearances, I’m looking at shenanigans,” Fagan said.
He has asked that Spokane temporarily ease the so-called “buffer zone” preventing state-licensed marijuana stores from opening within 1,000 feet of a video arcade. The six-month reprieve would allow Smokane’s owners to move near the arcade.
Ken Rosen, who described himself as the arcade’s caretaker, welcomed guests into one of the offices Thursday, its space cluttered with operating and in-progress arcade machines. The location, he said, draws children visiting the next-door offices of the nonprofit Christian Youth Theater.
The former construction worker said he spends his afternoons tinkering with old machines in the cluster of unfinished offices that make up the arcade. The space, which is rented for a fee of $5,000 a month, also includes storage for the youth theater and a practice space for a local rock band. The Kettle Falls native’s...
“If you’re not getting paid, you’re just trying to bring the nostalgia back to life,” Rosen said.
Barbanti, an attorney and landlord who has previously represented clients in cases involving billboards, adult bookstores and other property rights issues, said the arcade followed the model of other similar businesses in town, renting out rooms for private parties and avoiding quarter plugging to play.
“The lion’s share of our business has been private parties,” Barbanti said.
Barbanti denied that the arcade had been established specifically to prevent Smokane from moving locations. He did acknowledge filing a complaint on behalf of his clients with the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board about the new store, saying the concern was a violation of signage rules because the outlet advertised ...
Smokane initially contacted City Hall in February 2016 seeking to move, according to a letter Fagan provided from Lisa Key, the city’s planning director. Building permits were issued Aug. 16. The governing corporation for the arcade, Rome-Warsaw Holdings Inc., filed formation paperwork Nov. 11. The lease for the arcade...
Barbanti said Smokane had plenty of time to open before the arcade came online. But Fagan said the marijuana move should have been grandfathered in when its initial paperwork was OK’d.
“It should have died then and there, and we wouldn’t have had to do anything with an emergency ordinance,” Fagan said.
City Council President Ben Stuckart said Thursday he intended to vote in favor of Fagan’s proposal on marijuana.
“I have not personally been there, but it seems hokey to me,” Stuckart said.
The Smokane owners are appealing the Liquor and Cannabis Board’s decision to deny the license.
Mikhail Carpenter, a spokesman for the Liquor and Cannabis Board, said the agency has seen at least one case where an arcade was proposed adjacent to the planned site for a marijuana store. In that case, the city of Seattle provided evidence that an arcade venture by the owner of the popular Uncle Ike’s pot retailer, I...
Several marijuana businesses operate near the proposed site of the new Smokane location.
Carpenter confirmed on Friday that Paulsen obtained written permission from the state to serve as landlord for the retailer, before the Liquor and Cannabis board changed their policy and prohibited growers and processors from serving in that role.
“We are no longer going to accept that,” Carpenter said.
Barbanti declined to name clients involved in the Rome-Warsaw Holdings corporation running the arcade, citing attorney/client privilege.
“Whether I’m an owner or not, is not something I’m going to comment on,” he said.
Fagan stressed that his proposal would not lead to any new marijuana stores within the city, as Smokane would move to its new location and close its old shop about a half-mile away. The conservative councilman, who often breaks with his more progressive colleagues, said his concerns were about the investment the Smokan...
Arcades are one of several types of properties that have an enforceable 1,000-foot buffer to a potential marijuana business under the city’s code. The city is responsible for issuing permits for improvements to an existing building, but it is the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board that bestows a license to begin sell...
Smokane had received all its city permits, but it was denied the license when the Liquor and Cannabis Board reviewed satellite data and discovered the Old Fashioned Fun Arcade.
Chris Wright, an attorney specializing in litigation involving regulation of the state’s marijuana market, is representing the Smokane owners. Though no lawsuit has been filed, Wright – who is also president of the Spokane Park Board and husband of Spokane City Councilwoman Karen Stratton – said his clients had questio...
“The timing is certainly intriguing,” Wright said.
Barbanti, the attorney for the arcade, said the council’s quick consideration of the change was curious, given Wright’s marriage to a city council member, and said Fagan should have spoken with him or visited the site before taking action.
Stratton said Thursday she would recuse herself from the vote on Fagan’s proposal Monday night and that the owners of Smokane called all council members for assistance before Fagan took up the issue.
“I don’t feel there’s a conflict at all,” she said.
Fagan agreed, saying the issue was addressed with city legal representatives. He pointed to City Councilman Breean Beggs recusing himself from certain votes and issues, due to his legal practice.
“I don’t see anything wrong with that,” Fagan said.

Americans love artificial sweeteners. We stir saccharin into our coffee, drink cola sweetened with aspartame, and chew gum flavored with sorbitol -- all in an attempt to enjoy the sweet taste we crave without the calories we're trying to avoid.
One thing we haven't been able to do, however, is to bake successfully with artificial sweeteners. Replace the sugar in a cake recipe with an artificial sweetener, and you're likely to bake a pale, off-tasting cake.
That could change in August, when McNeil Nutritionals, the company that produces the sugar substitute known as Splenda, introduces Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking. The new product, which is half sugar and half Splenda, makes baked goods that look and taste like those made with all sugar, according to the company.
"It offers half the calories and half the carbs and all of the benefits that sugar brings to the baking and cooking process," says Monica Neufang, a company spokeswoman.
Even if you haven't knowingly used Splenda, chances are you've had it if you regularly consume artificially sweetened foods. Splenda (also known as sucralose) is in more than 4,000 products worldwide, including Coca-Cola C2 and Pepsi Edge, two new soft drinks that have half the sugar, carbohydrates and calories of ordi...
It is used to sweeten products made by Snapple, Ocean Spray, Atkins, Slim-Fast, SnackWell's, Breyers, Klondike and other companies that are introducing reduced-carb, reduced-sugar products. It even can be found in several kinds of over-the-counter medications.
You'll also find Splenda next to sugar packets at chains such as Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday, T.G.I. Friday's and Romano's Macaroni Grill.
Now, with a version being introduced for home bakers -- and according to the company, some professional chefs plan to use it in their restaurants too -- Splenda will be nearly ubiquitous.
A safe, tasty sugar substitute is good news for diabetics, people who are trying to lose weight and just about anyone who's health-conscious. But, given the worries about previous sweeteners, it's reasonable to wonder whether consuming so much Splenda is a good idea -- and whether it really can help with weight loss.
Although some nutrition experts caution against pinning our hopes on the substance as a diet aid, so far, it does appear to be innocuous.
