Preparing For College Theatre, Abe J. Bassett

Theatre Faculty Publications

The most significant characteristic of the department of theatre arts at Wright State University is that it has chosen to be a comprehensive but exclusively undergraduate department. Because the twenty faculty and professional staff are graduates of universities who offer advanced degrees, we are all aware of how an undergraduate student can be pushed aside in favor of the older, more mature graduate student. This is, in part, the reason for the deliberate decision to teach undergraduate students only.

Plaza Suite, Alvin Community College

Season 1980-1981

The play is composed of three acts, each involving different characters but all set in Suite 719 of New York City's Plaza Hotel. The first act, Visitor From Mamaroneck, introduces the audience to not-so-blissfully wedded couple Sam and Karen Nash, who are revisiting their honeymoon suite in an attempt by Karen to bring the love back into their marriage. Her plan backfires and the two become embroiled in a heated argument about whether or not Sam is having an affair with his secretary. The act ends with Sam leaving (allegedly to attend to urgent business) and Karen sadly reflecting on …

And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1980-1981 Season

Celebrate a first! This play marks the first time we have invited two name guest artists in the same year, and we seek an actress to star in the brilliant Broadway drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Zindel that starred Julie Harris and Estelle Parson. This biting, touching and often wildly funny play probes the relationships of three sisters whose lives have reached a point of crisis. A great mixture of comedy and drama.

As You Like It, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1980-1981 Season

Otterbein Theatre began 75 years ago with this play and it was revived for our 60th anniversary. We celebrate the best of Shakespeare with laughter...music...dances...romance...comedy at all levels. The story of how the banished Duke, Rosalind, Orlando and others find happiness through love is one of the most delightful of all Shakespearean tales. The wit of the clown, Touchstone, the philosophy of "All the world's a stage...", the music of "It was a lover and his lass...", the earthy needs of the country people, the romantic honesty of young lovers in tune with nature...all can be found in As You …
