Birdsby Aristophanes
directed by Thom Delventhal October 14-18, 2008 @ 7:30 PM
Maloney Hall, Black Box Theatre One
of the few surviving comedies from the Classical Greek period, it
details the story of three men, fed up with their war-torn home of
Athens, founding their own utopia with the help of the king of the
birds and surrounding it with a huge impregnable wall. Although
protected from the threat of outsiders, this shining city soon rots
from within as demagoguery and totalitarianism take hold. Reimagined
for our modern world, our production lampoons the past century of
American culture in a story that is still surprisingly relevant over
two thousand years later. |

Waiting for Leftyby Clifford Odets
directed by Josh Perlstein April 28 - May 2, 2008 @ 7:30 PM
Maloney Hall, Black Box Theatre Based
on the New York taxi-driver strike in 1934, Odets’s one-act was a
seminole piece, showing solidarity for the drivers fighting back
against the excesses of capitalism and the helplessness of the average
worker. Thanks to it’s shorter length, Perlstein will pair the show
with an as-of-yet undetermined second piece for a gripping full night
of theatre. |
