Join us for a fun and spooky conversation with Andy Park, Artistic Director of the Nebraska Repertory Theatre and Kevin Rich, Director of Applied Shakespeare at the University of Colorado Boulder.  Together, these creative and talented minds have created Nebraska Rep's next performance, ShakesFEAR, which opens October 15th and runs until October 31st.  This is an immersive theatre experience unlike no other - and the reportedly haunted Temple Building is the perfect place for the demented characters of Shakespeare to terrify brave patrons this fall season!

Christina Kirk serves as the Executive Director of the Nebraska Repertory Theatre and as Director of the Johnny Carson School of Theatre & Film. Ms. Kirk brings a wide array of expertise to the theatre, including teaching, directing, performing, and overseeing the entire program makes the Nebraska Repertory Theatre an inclusive, diverse, and full, year-round regional theatre operation.  Prior to taking the leadership position at UNL, she was Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at Otterbein University where she had taught since 1992. 
Ms. Kirk began her performing career at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, but has performed and directed all over the country, including the Illinois Shakespeare Festival, the Illinois Repertory Theatre, CATCO (Contemporary American Theatre Company), Heartland Theatre Company, just to name a few.  She has also been a contributing author in two theatre texts, The Art of Directing and Acting in the Space in between. 
Ms. Kirk has an M.F.A. in Directing from Columbia University in the city of New York and a B.F.A. in Acting from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
There could not be a more perfect fit for directing the Nebraska Repertory Theatre's production, A Midsummer Night's Dream which opens September 29th and runs through October 10th!  The production will be a refreshing and modern take on William Shakespeare's story and promises to deliver clever characters and costumes, relatable stories and the enthusiasm and fun from a cast who have missed the stage, as much as the theatre community has missed joining them in their story.
