Daniel Shure '14 will direct the Skidmore College Theater Department's upcoming Spring 2014 production of Middleton by Will Eno. Performances will be at 8 p.m. from Feb. 28 to March 5., excepting for a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m., and will take place in the Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater.
In Middletown, contemporary playwright Will Eno has created seemingly everyday characters with extraordinary abilities to articulate the deepest truths about being human: the clawing anxieties we cover up, the hopes and fears we cultivate and the desperate need for connection with others, overlaying a deeper fascination with how incredible it is to exist on this planet, in this universe.
The Theater Department's pre-professional program provides students with the opportunity to pursue the study of the theater arts within a liberal arts setting. Courses within the department afford training in the basic demands of the discipline-physical and vocal control, technique in acting and directing, technical and design skills-as well as the opportunity for advanced study, practical production experience, study abroad and off-campus internships.
Due to limited seating, interested parties should reserve at the Skidmore Theater Box Office by calling ext. 5439 or sending an email at boxoffice@skidmore.edu. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $8 for students and senior citizens.
