On Thursday, the Dan School of Drama and Music opened their fall major of The Servant of Two Masters. With a talented cast plucked from the newly-renamed school, the audience was transported back to eighteenth century Venice for a hilarious exploration of marriage, love and making a quick buck. Originally written in 1746 by Carlo Goldoni, A Servant of Two Masters brings the Venetian style of street performance
