New Harmony Theatre and University of Southern Indiana Theatre are pleased to announce The Repertory Project's 2008 season.
According to Lenny Leibowitz, artistic director of New Harmony Theatre and assistant professor of theatre at University of Southern Indiana, “The Repertory Project will continue its mission of presenting two plays of substance and beauty in the classic theatre model of rotating repertory, featuring a company of professional Equity actors and USI's top theatre students. This fall's productions will include Shakespeare's beloved romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, and Clifford Odets' stirring Depression-era drama, Waiting for Lefty."
Much Ado About Nothing, a comic and poignant meditation on the risks and rewards of romantic love, is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays. At once sunny and soulful, it celebrates the little lies that bring the deeper truth to light. In the merry war of wit between Beatrice and Benedick, Shakespeare found his ideal lovers. Their courtship stands mount to all the ages.
Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty remains a seminal exponent of American social realism. The play unfolds during a heated labor meeting moving toward strike. Radical and rousing, this Depression-era drama is infused with the energy of social protest and the desperation of the common man struggling to defy the corporate machine.
Both plays will be performed at the Mallette Studio Theatre, University of Southern Indiana.
