The afternoon event will bring together jugglers, magicians, and musicians evoking the Renaissance era&＃8212;along with performances of the Bard&＃8217;s works by community players and a reappearance of The Dean&＃8217;s Players. Doors open that day at 2:30 p.m. and performances commence as Olin Dean Mark Taylor leads a troupe of actors from the school in a scene from&＃160;King Lear. The festivities continue with a performance by WashU&＃8217;s a cappella group The Ghost Lights and a 50-minute retelling of&＃160;Romeo and Juliet&＃160;by Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. The program also includes a special announcement about a new initiative for Olin Business School&＃8212;shhhhh! It&＃8217;s still a secret!&＃8212;and, of course, plenty of food. Taylor has often made the case that classical literature, and the Bard in particular, are replete with lessons in business.&＃160;&＃8220;Henry V&＃8217;s&＃160;Agincourt speech is truly inspirational,&＃8221; he has said. And in&＃160;Olin Business magazine:&＃160;&＃8220;Literature helps you reflect on organizational behavior and business behavior,&＃8221; said the man who earned his master&＃8217;s thesis&＃160;in English Renaissance and romantic literature with a thesis on&＃160;King John. A quick web search of &＃8220;Shakespeare and business&＃8221; illustrates&＃160;the ongoing fascination&＃160;business leaders and scholars have with the connection, often highlighting quotes that reinforce common business maxims:&＃160;Run a tight meeting. Think before you speak. Consider your options carefully before acting. Richard Olivier, son of famous Shakespearean actor Sir Laurence Olivier, uses the Bard&＃8217;s works to teach good leadership and business practice,&＃160;according to a 2016 story by the BBC. &＃8220;Shakespeare is an amazing ethical teacher,&＃8221; Olivier told the BBC&＃8217;s website.&＃160;&＃8220;Apart from the history plays, there is no play where the bad guy ends up in charge at the end.&＃8221; Shakespeare at Olin Poster Key 1) Bottom,&＃160;A Midsummer&＃8217;s Night Dream2) Titania,&＃160;A Midsummer&＃8217;s Night Dream3) Juliet,&＃160;Romeo & Juliet4) Romeo,&＃160;Romeo & Juliet5) Ophelia,&＃160;Hamlet6) Mistress Ford,&＃160;The Merry Wives of Windsor7) Falstaff,&＃160;The Merry Wives of Windsor8) Mistress Page,&＃160;The Merry Wives of Windsor9) Cleopatra,&＃160;Antony and Cleopatra10) Antony,&＃160;Antony and Cleopatra11) The Weird/Wayward Sisters,&＃160;Macbeth12) Hamlet,&＃160;Hamlet13) Valentine,&＃160;Two Gentlemen of Verona14) Touchstone,&＃160;As You Like It15) Puck,&＃160;A Midsummer&＃8217;s Night Dream16) Lady Macbeth,&＃160;Macbeth17) Macbeth,&＃160;Macbeth18) Cassius,&＃160;Julius Caesar19) Caesar,&＃160;Julius Caesar20) Iago,&＃160;Othello21) Othello,&＃160;Othello22) Benedick,&＃160;Much Ado about Nothing23) Petruchio,&＃160;The Taming of the Shrew24) Kate,&＃160;The Taming of the Shrew25) Henry V,&＃160;Henry V26) King Lear,&＃160;King Lear27) King Richard,&＃160;Richard III28) Rosalind,&＃160;As You Like It About the Author Kurt Greenbaum As communications director for WashU Olin Business School, my job is to find and share great stories about our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
