PICNIC
By William Inge
John DeMita, director

Picnic received the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  The waning days of summer should give way to the promise of autumn and a fresh start.  But it’s 1953 in this small Kansas town and options are few for the stunningly beautiful Madge and her independent younger sister, Millie, who yearn for more than the life of staid domesticity awaiting them.  Then Hal, a dangerously handsome drifter, comes along and sets the whole town a-flutter.  He and Madge strike instant sparks, but can she really reject all she’s been taught, to follow unreliable hopes and a pounding heart?  In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Inge depicts the pleasure—and the pain—of risking everything to choose your own path.

RENT
Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
Bill Georges, director
Ron Scarlata, artistic director
Mike Walker, music director
Patty Breitag, vocal director
Candice M. Clasby, choreographer

Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini’s opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York’s East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.
Campus Theatre  $25  (Children 12 and under - $18)


“RENT has adult language and deals with mature topics such as drugs, sexuality, and AIDS. It is not recommended for children and should be considered an “R” rated type of show. Children under 5 years of age are not admitted to theatre performances.”

This production is being funded, in part, from the Musical Theatre Fund established in 2005 through the generous donations from the Les Thomas Family and Hamilton M. Maddaford.  We would like to acknowledge and thank the generous donors who attended previous musicals and contributed to the Musical Theatre Fund.
