THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD
by John Millington Synge, directed by: Nora Hussey

 Set in the late Victorian era the humor here derives from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. It is replete with witty dialogue and satirizes some of the foibles and hypocrisy of that society. It is one of Wilde’s most enduringly popular plays and has audiences howling with laughter. ScHNEIDER HALL
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

by Oscar Wilde, directed by: Nora Hussey and Valerie Von Rosenvinge
Returning for the third year in a row this troupe brings Shakespeare’s tale of love, betrayal and redemption to vivid life. Presented in the spare and elegant style of previous year’s wildly successful productions of Hamlet and Macbeth this acting company is a theatrical tour de force. As seen on the Barstow stage, this story unfolds with the powerful language, inventive staging and acting excellence that is the hallmark of this extraordinary acting ensemble. Performances on the barstow Stage in alumnae hall. OCtober 16- October 18 ACTORS FROM THE LONDON STAGE
