After CB’s dog dies from rabies, he begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits.

CAST: David Barrera, Marian Kansas, Robert Di Donato, Sean Przano, Jerry Berger, Julianne Plantes, Kat Agudo, Callie Hacker

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Kathleen Brown; STAGE MANAGER: Adam Chalmers

Nan has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional – and actual – cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenact scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.

Whitney and Carlyle, two West Texas teenagers, struggle to practice what they believe is right while reaching the peak of their sexual awakening. With pressure from their peers, parents, and church to behave a certain way, the two sexually repressed teenagers lie and create facades in order to continue believing in a God they are beginning to question. Characterized by sex, deceit, and the betrayal of their religion, The Stonewater Rapture paints the complex and painful relationship between faith and inner desires.

Upcoming: The Creation of the World by Arthur Miller, Round About Players, UT, April 16 - 18

Noted at UT and found on-line:

The Creation of the World and Other Business
by Arthur Miller

Presented by Round About Players
April 16 - 18, Utopia Theatre, UT School of Social Work, 6:30 p.m.

As one of Arthur Miller's only comedies, this parody about Adam and Eve, their humorous sexual tension, and the relationship between God and Lucifer inspires conversation about life, love, sex, murder, religion, humanity, and so much more.

Whether you are interested in religious history, the follies of mankind, or the natural, comedic bickering between man and woman, this play will affect you. Creation evokes emotion, provokes opinions, and sparks contemplation, as the plot subjectively reaches out to the audience. Arthur Miller makes several social and political statements about mankind by paralleling the story of Adam and Eve, as a way to relate humanity. Though Creation is a controversial & theatrical piece of history, the play remains applicable to every audience member, regardless of religious preference or practice. We're excited to present this lesser known masterpiece, and we hope you all enjoy the show as much as we do!
