The plays begin on Thursday, Feb. 11 and run through Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010. Featuring “Blind Date,” directed by Dee Dee Howell; “The One-Armed Man,” directed by Kyle Romero; and “John Turner Davis,” directed by Christopher Murray.
The Department of Theatre & Dance will present three student-directed one-act plays by the late Texas playwright Horton Foote. All three are set in the fictional Gulf Coast town of Harrison, Texas, during the 1920s and ’30s. “Blind Date” is a charming portrait of a well-meaning aunt who tries to fix up her visiting rebellious niece with a bookish local boy who aspires to be a mortician. In “The One-Armed Man,” McHenry returns to his former job to reclaim his arm lost in an industrial accident; his boss must determine how far the one-armed man will go to get what he wants. “John Turner Davis” is a heartwarming story about a boy whose migrant worker guardians have deserted him. As the kindly townspeople help him search for his missing aunt and uncle, John Turner Davis discovers that home is not as much about where as who. Axle Wisor, son of Jeffrey Wisor, assistant professor of theatre, will be featured in the title role.
All performances have a curtain time of 8 p.m., except Sunday, which has only a 2 p.m. matinee. Tickets are $10 general admission, $7 for senior citizens, students and LU faculty/staff; and $5 for LU students.
