If All the Sky Were Paper

November 7-11
If All the Sky Were Paper by Andrew Carroll
Directed by John Benitz
The Department of Theatre brings back to Orange County a truly exciting play that premiered at Chapman in 2010.  Based on bestselling author Andrew Carroll’s journey around the world to collect letters written during wartime, If All the Sky Were Paper is a heartfelt drama seen through the eyes of those on the front and home front. Audiences will be moved by these powerful testaments to love, sorrow, humor, hope, and redemption that transcend the war experience itself. In the end, this is our collective human story--told as only they can tell it.

Waltmar Theatre
7:30pm, with additional shows Nov. 10 and 11 at 2pm
November 9:  Special pre-show talk with playwright Andrew Carroll, who will discuss the Legacy Project, a national, all-volunteer initiative that encourages Americans to honor and remember those who have served—or are currently serving—this nation in wartime by seeking out and preserving their letters and e-mails home. With director John Benitz, Mr. Carroll will share the development of the play that emerged from the Legacy Project archives.  Talk begins at 7:30pm, followed by an 8pm performance.
$20 general admission; $15 senior citizens and students; $10 veterans and active military

Twelfth Night

February 14-16, 21-23
Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Tom Bradac
Twelfth Night, or What You Will, by William Shakespeare, is a comedy about a cross-dressing, ship-wreck surviving, poetry-loving girl (Viola) who finds herself at the center of a not-so-average love triangle.  Full of music, riotous behavior, drink, dance and giving in to self-indulgence, it is thought to be the last romantic comedy penned by the Bard.  Colorful and exotic, Twelfth Night is Shakespeare at his comedic best.  There will be a free one-hour discussion about the play with theatre professors Tom Bradac and Jocelyn Buckner and English professor Kent Lehnhof on February 21 at 6pm in the theatre.
