Shamus, who serves as Producing Artistic Director of Shakespeare in Clark Park, commissioned, produced, and directed All’s Well—a bold new adaptation of Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well by playwright J.C. Pankratz. With a lively ensemble of five actors, four puppets, and one magical truckload of creativity, the production brought joy and ingenuity to parks across Philadelphia in June 2025.
Presented by Theatre Philadelphia, the Barrymore Awards celebrate the vibrancy and artistry of the region’s theatre community—honoring the people and companies who make Philly’s stages (and parks!) come alive.

Another Friday has arrived, which means it’s time for another Feature! This week, we have the honor of putting the spotlight on Alana–Rivera Mills! Alana is a Musical Theater major with a minor in Communications, and she is set to graduate in 2027! She chose her major because while she loves singing and acting, she wanted to experience all sides of theater production, including the technical aspects as well as the screenwriting processes. She has been in various productions here at Rutgers–Camden, but her two favorites were Rent as a freshman and Urinetown when she was a sophomore. While these productions pushed her and her skills to higher levels, she also gives credit to Prof. Soyeon Bin for pushing her to be the best that she can be. Alana has accomplished a great deal on campus, but one of her proudest achievements is serving as secretary of a student-run theater collective group. We can`t wait to see where her career takes her after graduation!
