The collection of one-act performances opens Oct. 4 in the Lab Theatre (formerly known as the Studio Theatre), on the third floor of the Temple Building. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4; 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. Oct. 5; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6; and 2 p.m. Oct. 7.
"Death Defying Acts" is a long-running off Broadway hit featuring the work of playwrights David Mamet, Woody Allen and Elaine May.
Mamet's "An Interview" is a mystifying interrogation where a sleazy lawyer (played by Michael Goode, a junior) is forced to answer difficult questions and admit the truth about his life and career.
In May's "Hotline," a neurotic woman (Jennifer Olson, a sophomore) calls a suicide crisis hotline only to talk with an overwhelmed counselor working his first night on the job.
In the final act, a well-to-do psychiatrist (Andrea Beckwith, a junior) has discovered that her best friend is having an affair with her husband in Allen's comic "Central Park West."
"Death Defying Acts" is directed by first time Theatrix director Wyatt Kent, a junior in the Directing and Management emphasis in the School of Theatre and Film.
"Death Defying Acts" contains adult language.
Ticket are $7 for adults and $5 for students.
