However, when the beautiful Princess of France arrives with her ladies on a diplomatic mission, the men find themselves caught and the comedy begins. Love's Labour's Lost deserves resurrection. The entire troupe is dedicated to performing quality productions of Shakespeare and learning about the play, the playwright and theater. To this end, the cast is highly involved in every aspect of the production, from selecting and editing the play, to publicity, sets and costumes. Cast committees, with the guidance of the director, handle the production.
Cast members organize publicity, design the programs, make the sets, find props and sew costumes.
By getting involved in the whole production the cast is able to better appreciate and understand theater and Shakespeare. Early in the year, the cast meets with the director to discuss possible plays for the season. The discussion ends with an assignment of several plays for closer rereading and consideration. The cast then votes on the play, taking into consideration issues such as casting, audience appeal, and, of course, personal taste. In past years, the plays have been edited for length and content, MacBeth being the group's first unabridged production.
