November 5-15
"Anton in Show Business" by Jane Martin
Center Square Theatre
In this backstage theatrical circus, Martin skewers the archetypes of players in the American theatre while affirming theatre is indelible. "The star has no scruples, the artistic director has no sense, the corporate funder has no clue, and this appears to be the status quo!" writes Robert Faires in The Austin Chronicle. "With all this ego, greed, lust, insecurity, and ineptitude, the American theatre is making Hollywood look like a Benedictine monastery." The play received the American Theatre Critics/Steinberg New Play Award in 2001. Directed by guest artist Scott Kaiser of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. For information, please call 541-552-6348 or visit www.sou.edu/theatre/calendar.
November 12-22
"Blithe Spirit" by Noël Coward
Center Stage Theatre
In this classic 20th century comedy, which playfully mocks the traditions of love and marriage, novelist and socialite Charles Condomine unintentionally calls up the ghost of his first wife when he visits the "happy medium" Madame Arcati. As Elvira infiltrates the lives of Charles and his second wife Ruth, he wonders how things could be more vexing. Coward's dexterity with word play and plot are at their height. Under the direction of Dale Luciano as his farewell production before he retires at the end of this academic year. For information, please call 541-552-6348 or visit www.sou.edu/theatre/calendar.
