Three plays will be staged each night, with a total of 34 student actors involved.
Admission is free, but tickets are required.
The student directors are enrolled in the course Stage Direction taught by Michael O'Neill, Lafayette s director of theater. We spent the first half of the semester applying various ideas about staging and interpreting scripts to directing exercises in class. The second part of the course offers the students the opportunity to test ideas and explore practical approaches in real directing situations. The students selected their plays, researched them, auditioned actors, cast the shows, and led rehearsals, fulfilling most of the responsibilities that any director would in preparing a play. Vivien, the father, has been in a psychiatric residential hospital during that time, and his son, Paul, has not had any contact with him since he was ten years old.
