Prof’s acting career began as ‘dead body’
When distinguished British actor Ian McKellen was touring the United States with his one-man show "Acting Shakespeare,” a teenage Lance Marsh was one of several audience members who volunteered to play a dead body. As the scene concluded, McKellen invited his young charges to join him in a curtain call. That taste of the limelight was all it took; Marsh was hooked on becoming an actor.
Years later, Marsh spotted an advertisement on a call board that Missouri’s Stephens College was offering full scholarships to men. Marsh applied and was one of 10 men accepted into the school’s theater program. As many of the department’s faculty members also were performers, students were learning from those who knew the business. "At some point, I also discovered that every time I had an opportunity to teach a master class or conduct a workshop, I really enjoyed that aspect,” Marsh said recently. "I sort of had an inkling that teaching would someday end up being part of what I did. But I didn’t want to do it until I had some theatrical experience.” At the time, Stephens College ran a summer theater program in Iowa, and Marsh was happy to participate. One summer, he appeared in six shows over a 10-week period. That fed his love for summer theater, something he continues to be involved in today. Marsh has spent the past several weeks directing an Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park/TheatreOCU production of George Bernard Shaw’s "Misalliance.
