...ears and baritone belly laugh, Smith's image is that of the happy-go-lucky Everyguy. But you don't accrue $4.4 billion in worldwide box-office receipts and two Oscar nominations without machine-like drive. Smith's four most recent movies--The Pursuit of Happyness, Hitch, Shark Tale and I, Robot--have each grossed more than $300 million worldwide, vaulting him into a category usually reserved for white guys named Tom.

Early in the play, the island ruler (and rightful Duke of Milan) Prospero (Jason M. Lazarcheck ’08) recounts the tale of his exile to his daughter Miranda (Lauren L. Creedon ’11). As he speaks, six dancers take the stage to illustrate his story...
...this darker side helps to ground a play that could very well fly off into sugary, magical fantasy. Prospero’s exile is something that needs to be deeply felt as the price paid for the omnipotence he enjoys on the island. While Prospero’s tale would be compelling on its own—Lazarcheck’s stage presence is strong—Sibelius and the dancers ensure that it is felt...
