Theatre Schedule
2010-2011 season
The Hollow by Agatha Christie - October 7-10
Just a typical weekend at The Hollow home of Sir Henry and Lucy
Angkatell turns to murder. Dr. Cristow is at the center of the trouble:
Henrietta, his mistress; Veronica, his ex mistress; and Gerda, his wife
are all at The Hollow. Also visiting are Edward (who is in love with
Henrietta) and Midge (who loves with Edward). Veronica ardently desires
to marry Cristow and succeeds in reopening their affair but is unable to
get him to divorce his wife. By early Saturday we have a corpse and many
people with a motive and an opportunity to commit the crime. Enter
Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny to solve the crime.
True West by Sam Shepard - December 2-5
Two brothers meet at their mother’s house in this American classic that
explores alternatives that might spring from the demented terrain of the
California landscape. Sons of a desert dwelling alcoholic and a suburban
wanderer clash over a film script. Austin, the achiever, is working on a
script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer when Lee, a demented petty
thief, drops in. He pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer, who then
wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee's trashy
Western tale.
Directing Class presents One-Act Plays - December 9-10
Junior and senior theatre majors will present a night of one-act plays
as the culmination of the Directing Techniques class.
The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan -
February 18-20
Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first
opened in 1879, “The Pirates Of Penzance” spins a hilarious farce of
sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers,
dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to
the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. Directed by Susan
Quigley-Duggan.
Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare - February 24-27
The classic tale of the Montague-Capulet feud exploding when Romeo and
Juliet fall in love against the historical wishes and tradition of their
feuding fathers, mothers, and kinsmen.
The Wedding Singer by Matthew Sklar - April 14-17
Chad Bequelin, and Tim Herlihy: Rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New
