\n\t\u201cStuff Happens\u201d is what Donald Rumsfeld said four years ago, during the looting of Baghdad after a whirlwind military campaign secured the fall of that city. Originally written a year after the conquest of Baghdad, Stuff Happens gives the audience an insider\u2019s look at the political and diplomatic run-up to the Iraq-American war. The events depicted in the play actually occurred and remain relevant in the current national discussion on the war and its future course.<\/p>\n


\n\tStuff Happens, a history play, is a serious and thoughtful depiction of the personalities and issues that led America and Britain into the first major war of the 21st Century. It is a powerful and riveting play that will present audience members with fresh insight into the character of America\u2019s leadership in these times of historic decision-making.<\/p>\n


\n\tHare\u2019s dynamite drama is absorbing political theater. Bring an open mind, especially for after-show panel discussions. The first discussion will be a MatChat, short for matinee chat, which will feature actors, the director, designers, and 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty members immediately following the Sunday, Oct. 14 matinee performance. The second panel discussion will be Thursday, Oct. 18 when College Republicans and College Democrats will meet with the audience after that evening\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n


\n\tStuff Happens is directed by 溏心vlog免费B站 Associate Professor Christian Wittwer, scenic design by William P. Wieters, costume design by Marilyn Salvatore, lighting design by Jeffrey M. Whitsett, and sound design by Peter E. Nabut.<\/p>\n
