Jack Dewey \u201927 will have a handful of flamboyant costumes to wear, including a bright blue velvet suit, when he plays a not-so-typical King Ferdinand of Navarre in the Shakespearean Love\u2019s Labour\u2019s Lost<\/em>, coming to the Festival Playhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running November 6\u2013November 9, the show takes the Bard\u2019s witty comedy about love and vows and spins it into a vibrant 1970s spectacle filled with music, dancing and retro flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got flashing lights, dance numbers, sequined costumes\u2014everything is colorful, loud and alive,\u201d Dewey said. \u201cIt\u2019s less like seeing Shakespeare and more like watching Mamma Mia<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally written in the 1590s, Love\u2019s Labour\u2019s Lost<\/em> follows four noblemen who swear off women and worldly pleasures to focus on their academic studies\u2014until a visiting princess and her ladies arrive, undoing their oaths. In this production, Dewey and his fellow lords are reimagined as having the swagger and energy of college fraternity brothers, complete with banter, bravado and bad decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never played someone who\u2019s just an absolute jerk before,\u201d Dewey laughed. \u201cIn most of my roles, I\u2019ve been the hopeless romantic or the sad guy. This time I get to be a switchblade-comb-wielding, smooth-talking, terrible flirt, and it\u2019s so refreshing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The cast of the Shakespearean comedy “Love’s Labour’s Lost” includes Hannah Ulanoski ’26 as Marcade (from left), Jack Dewey ’26 as King Ferdinand of Navarre, Morgan Smith ’29 as the Princess of France and Max Wright ’26 as Boyet.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The decision to set the play in the 1970s, Dewey said, came from the creative team\u2019s desire to capture an era defined by liberation and self-expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of our costumes are incredibly sequined and shiny,\u201d he said. \u201cThe \u201970s were about freedom and individuality, and that fits perfectly with the play\u2019s humor and feminist themes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dewey said he hadn\u2019t heard of Kalamazoo College until he began receiving recruitment emails. One campus visit changed his future, helped in part by having family living in southwest Michigan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI stepped foot on campus and thought, \u2018This is what I want my college experience to look like,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since becoming a student at K, Dewey has performed in Eurydice<\/a><\/em> and Little Shop of Horrors<\/a><\/em>. Even with that experience, Love\u2019s Labour\u2019s Lost<\/em> is his most physically demanding role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re running, sliding and lunging, all while speaking in Shakespearean English,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s wild, but this cast makes it so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That cast includes several first-year students, including Morgan Smith as the princess of France; Jey Trebley as Berowne; Sam Pattison as Dumaine; Dewen Luo-Li as Rosaline; Laurel Stowers as Maria; and Abram Haynes as Longaville. Dewey said their energy has transformed rehearsals into what he calls the best kind of organized chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHalf the cast are first-years, and they\u2019re so loud, outgoing and funny,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to see the youngest people leading the charge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also credits acting leaders such as Bernice Mike \u201926 as Katherine, Owen Ellis \u201927 as Costard and Max Wright \u201926 as Boyet for the experience they bring to the cast. Despite the challenges of Shakespeare\u2019s language, Dewey said the company\u2019s modern take makes the story accessible and hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t always know what every word means, but I know what my character is trying to say,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes it fun, translating Shakespeare\u2019s intentions into something audiences can feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone hesitant about seeing Shakespeare, Dewey insists this production will change their mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf anyone wants to dip their toes into Shakespeare, this is the play to see,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s an hour of chaos, comedy and color.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love\u2019s Labour\u2019s Lost<\/em> will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 6\u2013Saturday, November 8, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 9.
