LIFE GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE www.greenbaypressgazette.com SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 COUNT DRACULA ROAMS AGAIN EVERGREEN SEASON OPENER By Warren Gerds Green Bay Press-Gazette PERE Evergreen Theatre turns to a famous name to open its 2012-2013 season. Which "Dracula" will roam its home, the Webb Theatre stage? "There are over 30 plays based on the book (by Bram Stoker)," said veteran director Craig Berken. "I only read the British version and the American version. The Evergreen board had already chosen the American version, which by far is the most exciting and acurately portrayed play based on the book." The adapation by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston is billed as appropriate for all groups.

"Parents can feel comfortable bringing children ages 12 and up," Berken said. The cast features Mike Palubicki as Count Dracula.

Rieben taught graphic design at UW after 25 years in the business end of the field creating company and institutional identity programs and marketing promotional campaigns.

The exhibit is titled "Design with Intent." "The exhibit covers my 50-year career as a designer and educator," Rieben said. "It is international in scope, including many award-winning trademarks and image systems and 50-plus posters that have gained considerable acknowledgement. Several of the posters are in the Museum of Modern Art in New York's permanent collection." SNC ties: St. Norbert College alumni are connected with "Roseann-kenstein: The Ballad of Roseanne as Told by Frankenstein's Monster," an original play that will be produced in October at Gorilla Tango Theatre in Skokie, 111. The alums performed locally.

The play is written and produced by Seth Wanta (2010) of Stevens Point and directed by Maria Jacob (2010) of Aurora, 111. Performers include Kevin O'Connell (2010) of Des Plaines, 111., and Stephen Schumacher (2011) of Green Bay. The play combines Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein" with the TV sitcom "Roseanne" in an original horror comedy. The alumni's St. Norbert theater professor, Stephen Rupsch, gets a kick out of what's happening.

"Not only are our students adding to the Chicago theater scene by acting in and directing productions, but they are also creating new opportunities for everyone," Rupsch said. "I also love that some of these students were in our (2008) production of so I fancy that experience helped pave the way for this one." Performances are Oct. 19 to 27.

Legend: A word often tacked onto Vince Lombardi's name is "legendary." Here's a vote for the play "Lombardi" being legendary. The play by Eric Si-monson did the seemingly impossible. It took the story of a football coach onto the mega scene of New York City and survived and succeeded.

A recent production brought Milwaukee Repertory Theatre its first $1 million ticket sales event in its history. Another production of "Lombardi" is in a fall run at Door County's Peninsula Players with yet another actor playing the legendary Green Bay Packers coach and earning standing ovations. It's been a remarkable run for the play. Different: John Rieben, an emeritus professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has a heads up for the Green Bay business com- and 9:40.
