A Streetcar Named Desire, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1990-1991 Season

This celebrated American drama, which earned both the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, ranks as one of the greatest in our theatre. A savagely arresting drama. Streetcar is one the those rare plays familiar to all. Primitive, graceful and poetic, the play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche DuBois, a woman whose life has been undermined by romantic illusions, which lead her to reject so far as possible the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, …

She Stoops To Conquer, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1989-1990 Season

A round of mistaken identities stir up the hilarity for this quick-paced, rowdy farce that has kept audiences laughing for more than two centuries. Tony Lumpkin directs two lost-in-the-night Londoners to the squire's country home they search for--but impishly tells them it's an inn. Since Marlow, one of the young men, seeks to court the squire's daughter, it results in pickle after delicious pickle as he treats the squire (his prospective father-in-law) and the squire's daughter (his future wife) as an innkeeper and barmaid. The squire is perplexed at being ordered about like a servant, and Marlow indignant at the …

Stepping Out, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1989-1990 Season

Stepping Out is a play written by Richard Harris in 1984. The play concerns eight individuals from disparate backgrounds and with differing motivations who attend the same weekly tap dancing class in a dingy North London church hall. Despite the students at first treating the classes as social occasions, and showing little co-ordination, they later develop a level of skill and cohesiveness. The dance routines are the background for the focus of the play, the relationship and interaction of different people.
