Jonathan Olin ’99 and Lauren Hynek ’00 directed Romeo and Juliet, which included twenty-five cast and crew members as well as a string quartet. Sarah Gurfield ’99 directed The Taming of the Shrew, and Amanda Treyz ’00 directed Henry V, which featured martial arts demonstrations and a performance by the Brown Madrigals.
