In addition to the disappearance of spare time, money (spent on mostly coffee these days), and perhaps a bit of our sanity, furniture from the University Center and Butler Pavilion have been disappearing over the course of this semester.

The setting of AU Players’ “Macbeth” may at first seem an odd logistical choice — it wasn’t easy to find (located in the P3 level of the Katzen Parking Garage), there’s no set stage and unfortunately, AU couldn’t do a thing about having one of the more climatic scenes interrupted by a revving Ford Explorer.
