KZ Country Cheesy Joke of the Day 11/10/25

The Fort Hays State University Department of Music and Theatre will present William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost” this November, offering audiences a lively, romantic comedy with a fresh 1960s twist.

Originally written in the 1590s and first performed for Queen Elizabeth I, “Love’s Labour’s Lost” follows a young king and his companions who swear off women for three years to devote themselves to study. Their vows are soon tested when the princess of France and her ladies arrive, turning scholarly discipline into comic chaos.

“Of course, they are pledged to celibacy and studying, but that quickly goes out the window,” said Catherine Trieschmann, FHSU Director of Theatre. “It’s a perfect setup for a romantic comedy.”

Trieschmann has adapted the play by condensing Shakespeare’s text and merging several characters, bringing the running time to about 90 minutes. Her creative decision to set the production in the 1960s highlights the play’s central tension between authority and liberation.

“The play is really about rule-bound authority versus freedom,” Trieschmann said. “I felt like the 1960s were the perfect era for those ideas to percolate.”

To prepare the cast to perform Shakespeare, Trieschmann invited Geoffrey Kent, a professional actor/director from Denver, to lead a Shakespeare boot camp. As one of the best interpreters of Shakespeare in the region, Kent’s guidance helped the student actors explore the language and rhythm of Shakespeare’s work in depth.

“He taught us how to tackle the text and all the resources available for understanding Shakespeare,” Trieschmann said. “It was fantastic.”

The cast of 16 features four Freshmen students in leading roles.

Cast members include (in order of appearance): Sam Schroeder, Karter Smith, Caleb Johnson, Alan Torres, Brett Dreher, Adrian Normandin, Tatum Sander, Holly Trullinger, MyKynlee Stecklein, Jordan Aschenbrenner, Lilly Kimberlin, Allie Straub, Victoria Villines, Addyson Brown, Maelin Johnson, Faith Woods, and Hannah Walker.

“It’s impressive to see how well the students are handling the text,” Trieschmann said. “The play is very funny, almost a farce.”

Vintage costuming from the 1960s, paired with a mid-century modern set designed by Joel Williams, will enhance the production's visual appeal. Live guitar and vocal music will round out the show.

“Love’s Labour’s Lost” will be performed Nov. 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 16 at 2:30 p.m.

By&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/author/mark-kennedy">MARK KENNEDY</a>

NEW YORK (AP) — A newly discovered&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/dr-seuss">Dr. Seuss</a>&nbsp;manuscript featuring the Cat in the Hat and celebrating the United States will be published next year, just in time for&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/federal-cuts-humanities-america250-anniversary-doge-572cf095773c66856a1da94030ffd5a9">America’s 250th anniversary.</a>

“Sing the 50 United States” is the first full manuscript written by Dr. Seuss — born Theodor Geisel — to be discovered since the posthumous release of&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/62c82fa1f4be43c7aa4355fd11c36478">“What Pet Should I Get?”</a>&nbsp;in 2015.

The new book aims to teach readers the names of the states. “To sing the 50 United States, you have to use your brain,” the Cat in the Hat advises. “Massachusetts. Minnesota. Missouri and Montana. M-i-s-s-Mississippi. Maryland! Michigan and Maine!”

“Uncovering a new work from Ted is like finding a time capsule of his imagination,” says Susan Brandt, president and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. “‘Sing the 50 United States’ celebrates his boundless creativity, genius with words, and enduring ability to inspire young readers everywhere. We’re honored to share this new Dr. Seuss treasure with readers across America during such a meaningful milestone year.”

The manuscript was found earlier this year in archival materials at the Geisel Library at The University California San Diego. Geisel also left behind a cover sketch and notes on the overall art direction. New illustrations were done by artist Tom Brannon, in the style of Dr. Seuss.

Random House Children’s Books will publish the book on June 2, 2026, with a first printing of 500,000 copies.

The Ellis County Historical Society and the Courtney-Spalding Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution invite the public to a special presentation, “A Look Back at Walker Army Airfield Base,” featuring historian and U.S. Army veteran Steven Arthur. The event will take place on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at the Ellis County Historical Society, 100 W. 7th, Hays.

Arthur, a Fort Hays State University history graduate, retired library director, and current NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador, will share his research into the fascinating past of the Walker Army Airfield. 

His curiosity about the site began years ago—like many who have driven past the remains of the base and wondered about its story. What started as a model-building project for Forsyth Library became a three-year journey to uncover the airfield’s rich and largely forgotten history.

The event is free and open to the public. The museum’s south entrance is handicap accessible and includes an elevator.

This program is sponsored by the Ellis County Historical Society and the Courtney-Spalding Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, as part of the “America 250!” commemoration.
