Frontiers, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1986-1987 Season

Frontiers is not a play in the strict sense of the word. It has no single story line or no central character who advances the action. Rather, Frontiers compresses several stories (and possibly many plays and films) into a series of vignettes which are unified by a single theme: the determination of people to improve their lot in life.

A group of children caught dancing nude in the forest, apparently under the influence of a servant from Barbados who practices voodoo, results in the cry of witchcraft as the girls fall under spells to protect themselves.

Noises Off, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1986-1987 Season

Noises Off. Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing's On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
