...such as getting the necessary textbooks or getting proper nutrition. You have to take those things into account.THC: And was there much room for actors to implement their own styles on “The Wire?” Was there any improvisation or on-set changes? JTF: The script for “The Wire” was painstakingly written. There was no expectation of ad-libbing. Every episode took many rewrites; the script was very precise. As far as casting went, the actors on the show were very professional. [Creator David Simon and Ed Burns] trusted the actors...
...Directed by Catrin M. Lloyd-Bollard ’08 and produced by David P. Thoreson ’08, the production could be considered a test of endurance with a running time of just over two hours and no intermission.

...acquired to torment these men and also bring about the marriage of his daughter to Ferdinand (Jason Bowen), the noble son of Alonso. The production at the CMAC is mostly faithful to the original version of the play. The director, Patrick Swanson, lets his actors and the script go to work. The play revels in its stripped-down production; the small stage is adorned only with light bulbs placed around the edge of the performance area, which convey the magical nature of the island. Most of the actors do an excellent job of portraying their characters’ feelings...
