| February 2001 - Spoon River Anthology | |
 The cast |
By Edgar Lee Masters Directed By Jim Seay Musical Direction By Sharon Maulding-Hale Performance Dates: Feb 2-5 and 9-11 In the Anthology, the dead in an Illinois graveyard relay, in matter-of-fact but haunting tones, details from their lives. The Anthology was original, provocative and influentual. Its literary significance has been compared with Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass [published in 1855]. Masters wove a thread of partial reality throughout the Anthology. Many of the characters and their experiences can be identified with former residents of Lewistown and Petersburg, Illinois. Masters' used his childhood experiences in these two communities, as a basis for the poems. Click here to view the cast list. |
| June 2001 - The Nerd | |
 Willum trys to play Rick's game. |
By Larry Shue Directed By Todd Isaacs Performance Dates: June 8-10 and 15-17 Now an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved has life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you" -- so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his 34th birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless "nerd" -- a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence, and less tact. And Rick stays on and on, his continued presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence -- a dire development which, happily, is staved off by the surprising "twist" ending of the play.
