WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2018 | 7:30 P.M.
STEINMAN HALL | WARE CENTER
In 1968, Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world famous for
15 minutes.” His prediction of fame’s fleeting nature in our celebrity saturated
culture could not be truer. Through the personal letters of those who sought
and achieved greatness – including Emily Dickinson, David Bowie, Tom Hanks,
Stephen King, Harper Lee, John Cleese, Amelia Earhart and of course, Mr. Warhol
himself, Letters Aloud: Fame (they’re not going to live forever) examines the very
human condition of celebrity and the lessons it teaches. $15/10/5

Kendall takes us to the streets of London – playing each and every character
– from high society to the lowly servants, revealing what can come of a man’s
unchecked desires. $18/10/5

This rock opera shook the world when it premiered in 1970 and its
power and message are still as strong today! The story is loosely based
on the Gospel’s account of the last week of Jesus’ life, beginning with the
preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem and ending
with the crucifixion. It is never the wrong time to revisit and experience this
legendary stage show.

RAFTERS THEATRE | DUTCHER HALL
Guest Directed
Nobody does small town southern humor like Beth Henley.
It’s the early 1980s in the small Mississippi town of Brookhaven, a few days
before the Fourth of July. Carnelle Scott (known locally as “Miss Hot Tamale”)
is rehearsing furiously for the Miss Firecracker Contest—hoping that a
victory will salvage her tarnished reputation and allow her to leave town in a
blaze of glory. This explosively funny play again demonstrates the author’s unique gift for finding rich lodes
of humor—and simple wisdom—in the zany activities of small-town life.
The Miss Firecracker Contest is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

RAFTERS THEATRE | DUTCHER HALL
Directed by Tony Elliot
On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite
what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the
northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents
find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often
hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises
heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.
Join us ”up north” as we magically explore love and loss in a remote, mythical almost-town called Almost, Maine.
“Sweet, poignant, and witty. Nearly perfect. ALMOST, MAINE’s charm is real. [It] packs wit, earns its laughs and,
like love, surprises you.” —New York Daily News
Almost, Maine is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
