Hay Fever, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1979 Summer Theatre

Noel Coward’s superb farce comedy, filled with typical repartee and dazzling wit. The story concerns an ultra-Bohemian family who live a free sort of life. The novelist, his actress wife and their two spoiled children each invite guests for a summer weekend and the resulting “fever” is the basis for an evening of laughter.

The Runner Stumbles, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1979 Summer Theatre

An exciting and powerful new drama that has enjoyed great regional theatre and New York success (now before the cameras). This story of repressed passions centering around a priest and a nun, told in a courtroom through flashbacks, provides an evening of intensely moving and absorbing theatre.
