An ogre sings outdoors in ‘Shrek’
“Shrek, the Musical,” the stage version of the hit animated film, is usually produced with a cast of roughly 30 playing everyone from the green ogre named Shrek to dozens of fairy tale characters. All of them will be on hand, but in a different way in a new outdoor production presented by the Dingbat Theatre Project. All the actors play multiple characters and manipulate a variety of puppets. It is staged by founder Luke Manual McFatrich (he also plays Dragon) and is choreographed by Brian Finnerty (who also plays Lord Farquaad). Cory Woomert plays Shrek, Alyssa Goudy is Princess Fiona and Derric Gobourne Jr. is Donkey. The cast also includes Noelia Altamirano, Amanda Heisey and Jamie Molina. Performances are outdoors at the Bazaar on Apricot and Lime, 821 Apricot Ave., Sarasota, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and May 13-15. Tickets are $25 or $50 for blanket seating for up to four people. For more information: dingbattheatre.org

Aubert “Aubie” Coran
SARASOTA, Fla. Aubert Aubie Coran, the 1995 recipient of the ACS Rubber Division s Charles Goodyear Medal, died Oct. 20 in Sarasota. He was 88.
Coran pioneered work in thermoplastic elastomers and delayed action accelerated sulfur vulcanization during a 36-year career at Monsanto Co., leading to his receiving the Rubber Division s highest honor.
During his time at Monsanto, he helped develop a number of materials, including Santoprene, Santogard PVI and Vocol accelerator for vulcanization. His research also delved extensively into the vulcanization of rubber with sulfur and accelerators. Although there have been many other contributions over the years to our understanding of vulcanization chemistry, it seems clear that he played the leading role in the remarkable progress made since about 1960, A.N. Gent wrote in a letter supporting Coran s nomination for the medal.
