North American Players of Shakespeare
This is a collection of interviews of twenty-one actors from Shakespeare theaters and festivals across North America, from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland to the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre and the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario. The interviews celebrate the variety in education, training, and approaches to acting conducted by recognized performance scholars. Thus, this book combines scholarly expertise with actors' insights to produce unique views on contemporary Shakespearean performances in the United States and Canada, and fills an important niche in performance criticism. Michael W. Shurgot is Professor of Humanities at South Puget Sound Community College.
Raven Mountain
Johnny Redfeather, a Civil War veteran of Irish/Cheyenne heritage, struggles to protect his Indian heritage and adopted family against insurmountable odds.
Shakespeare's Sense of Character
Making a unique intervention in an incipient but powerful resurgence of academic interest in character-based approaches to Shakespeare, this book brings scholars and theatre practitioners together to rethink why and how character continues to matter. Contributors seek in particular to expand our notions of what Shakespearean character is, and to extend the range of critical vocabularies in which character criticism can work. The return to character thus involves incorporating as well as contesting postmodern ideas that have radically revised our conceptions of subjectivity and selfhood. At the same time, by engaging theatre practitioners, this book promotes the kind of comprehensive dialogue that is necessary for the common endeavor of sustaining the vitality of Shakespeare's characters.
Could You Be Startin' from Somewhere Else?
"In his stirring, deeply reflective memoir, Michael Shurgot reveals how his childhood in a loving, multiethnic family in a predominantly working-class neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, proved surprisingly essential to his eventual calling as a scholar and academic. From memorable antics at home with his exuberant Irish mother and reserved, sports-minded Ukranian-Polish father to the post-WWII atmosphere of muscle cars and romantic misadventures, this rich account reveals how an unlikely urban setting fostered an accomplished man of letters. With humor, heart, and unvarnished honesty, Could You Be Startin' From Somewhere Else? Sketches from Buffalo and Beyond will captivate anyone who wonders how his or her past helped form a thoroughly satisfying present."--back cover.
Stages of Play
Rather than arguing for a "unified response" among spectators, as many scholars do, the book argues that when the plays are performed on thrust stages, the audience's reactions are actually seminal to the plays' intended dramatic effects.

Performing Disability in Early Modern English Drama
Performing Disability in Early Modern English Drama investigates the cultural work done by early modern theatrical performances of disability. Proffering an expansive view of early modern disability in performance, the contributors suggest methodologies for finding and interpreting it in unexpected contexts. The volume also includes essays on disabled actors whose performances are changing the meanings of disability in Shakespeare for present-day audiences. By combining these two areas of scholarship, this text makes a unique intervention in early modern studies and disability studies alike. Ultimately, the volume generates a conversation that locates and theorizes the staging of particular disabilities within their historical and literary contexts while considering continuity and change in the performance of disability between the early modern period and our own.
