Look Homeward Angel
by Ketti
Frings (adapted from the novel by Thomas Wolfe)
Directed
by Eric Porter
|
~An authentic American classic, this powerful and vital
play captures the humor and grief, both private and universal, of Wolfe's largely autobiographical novel about a youth coming
of age. Concentrating on the last third of Wolfe's story, the play vividly portrays Eugene Gant, his mother who is obsessed
by material holdings and who maintains barriers against the love of her family, the father-a stonecutter imprisoned by his
failures, the brother who never breaks away, and a host of eccentric residents of the family-run boarding house. |

Our Town
(An adaptation by Thornton Wilder)
Directed by Wendy Pratt
The play centers around the themes of life, love, and death which are
illustrated in the everday routines of ordinary folk in Grover's Corners, N.H. Wilder
mingles the simple and the profound in order for the audience to understand the everyday occurences in this show are "an
allegorical representation of all life."
In the current Newsweek, Jeremy McCarter says that “Our Town isn't
a nostalgic wallow in small town life. It's a harrowing story about human limitation--all the beauty and value we fail to
recognize in our day-to-day lives".
