The Theatre and Dance Department's
winter production, opening Feb. 24 for a
six-show run, will be John Guare's sa­
tirical look at the 1960s, "House of Blue
Leaves."
The play, which The New York Times
called an "enchantingly zany and original
farce," will be staged Feb. 24-26 and
March 2-4. The play begins at 8 p.m. in
the Theatre, but director Erma Stauffer is
encouraging patrons to arrive early for an
entertaining pre-show that wi ll lead into
the comedy.
"House of Blue Leaves," considered by
the Los Angeles Times to be one of the
top I 00 plays of the 20th century, pre­
miered on Broadway in 1971. It received
the 1971 C ritics Award and an Obie for
Best American Play and was later revived
on Broadway.
"House of Blue Leaves" is set in New
York City in 1965 at a time when Ameri­
can culture was on the verge of explosion.
"The years that came between the as­
sassination of President Kennedy and the
Vietnam War were full of transitions that
left many Americans wondering where
they fit in," Stauffer said.
Director Stauffer is a part-time faculty
member in the Theatre and Dance Depart­

ment. She has worked with the nationally
recognized theater development group The
Independent Eye and taught at the experi­
mental Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Tim Dugan of the Theatre and Dance
Department faculty is the set designer.
Howard Gee of the department's staff is the
lighting designer and technical director.
Tickets are $7 for students and seniors
and $8 for ad ults. D
