Upcoming Theatre events in the Marion Gallaway and Allen Bales Theatres:

GALLAWAY SERIES

Hay Fever, by Noel Coward
Oct. 8-12, 7:30 p.m./Oct. 13, 2 p.m., Gallaway Theatre

A comedy of "bad" manners, Hay Fever is the luminously funny tale of the quirky Bliss family and their weekend guests. Each family member is determined to ignore everyone except their own guest, which creates hilarious antics and preposterous scenarios that will leave you laughing and gasping at every turn. You can't miss with this beautifully crafted Noel Coward hit.

BALES SERIES

Hamlet, by William Shakespeare
Sept. 24-28, 7:30 p.m./Sept. 29, 2 p.m., Allen Bales Theatre

Influenced by Peter Brook's view of Shakespeare, this Hamlet will be exciting for contemporary audiences. Youthful anger, drastic acts of murderous revenge driven by madness could describe many events happening today and are played out on stage in this timeless tale. Adapted and directed by third-year graduate student Tina Fitch, this promises to kick off the 2002-03 Allen Bales season in high gear!

Tamer of Horses, by William Mastrosimone
Oct. 29-Nov. 2, 7:30 p.m./Nov. 3, 2 p.m., Allen Bales Theatre

Tamer of Horses is the story of a young married couple; both teachers living in a rural area in New Jersey whose lives are disrupted when a troubled 15 year old orphan appears one cold night in their barn. All of their lives change as a result of the encounter. This is an inspiring story of how language and literature can touch one's soul.
