  • Non-Equity Jeff Award Nominations Rescinded for the Hypocrites
    Editor’s Note: The complete list of Non-Equity Jeff Awards nominees follows this release and is also available on-line in the News and Events section at www.jeffawards.org. Non-Equity Jeff Award Nominations Rescinded for The Hypocrites Additional Nominations Announced Saturday, April 25, 2015 - Chicago, IL. Early Friday, April 24, 2015, Sean Graney, who recently returned to Chicago to resume his post as Artistic Director of The Hypocrites, informed the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee that he just learned the theater company had been operating under an Equity CAT-N contract for the duration of the 2014-2015 Non-Equity season. Over the past year, requests for judging its productions were made to the Non-Equity Wing without the committee having knowledge of the company’s Equity status. The Jeff Committee was aware that two of the productions had Equity performers (as indicated in the program); however, the committee has now confirmed that these were not guest contracts. As such, the company’s productions are not eligible for consideration in the Non- Equity Wing, and all related Non-Equity Jeff Award nominations have been rescinded. The productions in question will be shifted to the Equity Wing for awards consideration during its current season, which commenced on August 1, 2014 and will end on July 30, 2015. A revised listing of nominees follows for the 2014-2015 Non-Equity Jeff Awards. 2015 NON-EQUITY JEFF AWARD NOMINEES PRODUCTION - PLAY "Exit Strategy" - Jackalope Theatre Company "The Jungle" - Oracle Productions "Men Should Weep" - Griffin Theatre Company "Monstrous Regiment" - Lifeline Theatre "Ruined" - Eclipse Theatre Company" PRODUCTION - MUSICAL "Assassins" - Kokandy Productions "The Full Monty" - Kokandy Productions "Jesus Christ Superstar" - Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre "Titanic" - Griffin Theatre Company "The Wild Party" - Bailiwick Chicago PRODUCTION - REVUE "Always..

  • Volgei Nescia: on the Paradox of Praising Women's Invisibility*
    Matthew Roller Volgei nescia: On the Paradox of Praising Women’s Invisibility* A funerary plaque of travertine marble, originally from a tomb on the Via Nomentana outside of Rome and dating to the middle of the first century BCE, commemorates the butcher Lucius Aurelius Hermia, freedman of Lucius, and his wife Aurelia Philematio, likewise a freedman of Lucius. The rectangular plaque is divided into three panels of roughly equal width. The center panel bears a relief sculpture depicting a man and woman who stand and face one another; the woman raises the man’s right hand to her mouth and kisses it. The leftmost panel, adjacent to the male figure, is inscribed with a metrical text of two elegiac couplets. It represents the husband Aurelius’ words about his wife, who has predeceased him and is commemorated here. The rightmost panel, adjacent to the female figure, is likewise inscribed with a metrical text of three and one half elegiac couplets. It represents the wife Aurelia’s words: she speaks of her life and virtues in the past tense, as though from beyond the grave.1 The figures depicted in relief presumably represent the married individuals who are named and speak in the inscribed texts; the woman’s hand-kissing gesture seems to confirm this, as it represents a visual pun on the cognomen Philematio/Philematium, “little kiss.”2 This relief, now in the British Museum, is well known and has received extensive scholarly discussion.3 Here, I wish to focus on a single phrase in the text Aurelia is represented as speaking.
