Psycho Beach Party

By Charles Busch
Director: Dr. David Ruebhausen
November 4 – 6 & 11 - 13 at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $5 Students & UNA Employees/ $10 General Public
Norton Auditorium

In this satire of the 1960s surfing films, Chicklet, a perky Gidget figure, joins ranks with a group of fun-loving surf bums led by the great Kanaka. Unfortunately, Chicklet has multiple personalities that love to emerge and cause mischief, among which is a sultry dominatrix out to enslave the rest of the world. This modern comedy by playwright and gender illusionist, Charles Busch, contains some language and subject matter of an adult nature.


"Master Harold"...and the Boys

By Athol Fugard
Director: Professor Charlton James
February 24 – 26 at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $5 Students & UNA Employees/ $10 General Public

Set in South Africa, "Master Harold"...and the Boys is a powerful examination of apartheid's impact on the close friendship between young Hally, a teenager from a fractured family trying to find his place, and Willy and Sam, two black servants. Recipient of a Drama Desk Award and a Tony Award nomination for Best Play in 1982 "Master Harold"...and the Boys recognizes that there is much work to be done to bring people of different races together but that hope is ever present.


Doubt

By John Patrick Shanley
Director: Dr. David Ruebhausen
March 17 - 19 at 7:30 PM
Tickets: $5 Students & UNA Employees/ $10 General Public
Norton Auditorium

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, Doubt is an enthralling story of intrigue as a parish priest is suspected of molesting a student. With only distrust from the lead nun to fuel the scandal, this play explores the awesome power that doubt and moral certainty can have to unite and divide us.

Norton Auditorium

When Adam, an insecure student, meets Evelyn, an uncompromising artist, an intense relationship begins with Evelyn making drastic attempts to improve Adam’s appearance and personality.
