\n\tHere are the four plays in this year\u2019s lineup:<\/p>\n


\n\u2022STUFF HAPPENS by David Hare. \u201cStuff Happens\u201d is what Donald Rumsfeld said four years ago during the looting of Baghdad. David Hare\u2019s controversial historic play takes the audience behind the political and diplomatic run-up to the Iraqi War. The events depicted actually occurred. Plan to leave the theater with completely absorbing insights into the character of our nation\u2019s leadership in these times of historic decision-making. Hare\u2019s dynamite drama is riveting political theater. Bring an open mind. <\/p>\n


\n Performances: Oct. 11 through 13 and 18 through 20, 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 14 and 21 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $14 for general admission, $10 for seniors, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty\/staff, and $8 for students.<\/p>\n


\n\u2022LITTLE WOMEN, the musical, book by Allan Knee, music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. Based on Louisa May Alcott\u2019s novel about her family\u2019s experiences, Little Women follows the adventures of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America. This wonderful narrative has been brought to life as an exhilarating new musical filled with glorious music, dancing, and heart. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope\u2014the sounds of a young America finding its voice. Six generations have read this story. This one will sing it. <\/p>\n

\n\u2022AMADEUS by Peter Shaffer. Set amidst the opulence and splendor of 18th Century Vienna, this thrilling and often wickedly funny play pits blazing human ambition against heavenly genius in what becomes a battle of life and death.

\n\u2022THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE by Jay Presson Allen based on the novel by Muriel Spark. The play takes place in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 1930s when Fascism was rising in the world. Miss Jean Brodie is a spellbinding, unconventional teacher at a girls\u2019 school who, with her opinionated, anecdotal and eccentric teaching style grasps the imagination of a group of girls \u2013 the \u201ccr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me\u201d during the most impressionable time of their lives. Her male colleagues are also drawn to the tour de force of a woman who is often the bane of the traditional headmistress. Serious and comedic, the action of the play moves to its startling conclusion: \u201cGive me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
