University Theatre wraps semester with 'subUrbia'
University Theatre will close out the spring semester with Eric Bogosian's "subUrbia," opening April 12.
The production, guest directed by Jennifer Hubbard, includes performances at 7:30 p.m., April 12-14 and April 18-21 in the Studio Theatre, third floor of the Temple Building.
The scene is the parking lot of a convenience store in fictional Burnfield, suburban USA. Jeff (Sean McGill), Buff (Christian Stokes), and Tim (William Heafer), three 20-somethings meet to "party," harass the store owner (Mike Goode) and his sister (Mikael Walter), and revel in the glory days of their high school years. When semi-famous musician and high-school buddy Pony (Ben Sedlacek) and his publicist (Andrea Beckwith) make their arrival in a black limo, jealousy and anger power the performance.
The production is designed by undergraduate theatre majors Mayumi Kanzawa (scenic), Matt Miller (lighting), and Brooke Stevens (sound). Elissa Shortridge is the stage manager.
Hubbard is a guest director and lecturer at the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film for the spring 2007 semester. She will also direct "The Last Five Years" for Nebraska Repertory Theatre this summer.
Tickets to "subUrbia" are $16 for general admission, $14 for faculty, staff and senior citizens, and $10 for students with a valid identification card. For more information call 472-4747.
