The Baltimore Waltz Paula Vogel Transit Theatre Troupe St. Edward's University



The Baltimore Waltz

by Paula Vogel

directed by Johnny Joe Trillayes
assistant directed by Benjamin Myers

April 30 - May 2, 9 p.m.

Location: Outside St Edward's University Campus Post Office, behind Main Building

Transit Theatre Troupe is an on campus non for profit theatre group that produces student run, site specific theatre.



This production and all productions by Transit are FREE to the public. Donations are accepted and all proceeds go to a local charity of the director's choice.

The play The Baltimore Waltz by Pulitzer-Prize- winning American author Paula Vogel is often described as a comedy about death. However, while it is a very funny play, it is by no means flippant.

With no hope of a cure for the ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease), a brother and sister set off for Europe to track down a mad Viennese doctor who may have the magic cure. On the way, Anna discovers new appetites lustily devouring European cuisine and European men while Carl takes in the museums. Through France, Holland, Germany, Anna frolics while Karl finds himself pursued by an ever more ominous "Third Man," a mysterious figure who wants to stroke his bunny rabbit.

The Baltimore Waltz
is full of music and humour, fantasy and wisdom. Most of all, it is a tribute to the way the human imagination faces the inevitability of death – with deep courage – and with wild laughter.

Featuring:

Anna: Cassidy Shiltz
Carl: Conor Felch
Third Man: Michael Davis

Upcoming: Recent Tragic Events by Craig Wright, Transit Theatre Troupe, St. Edward's University, March 3 - 8


Received directly:

Transit Theatre Troupe

at St Edward's University

presents

Recent Tragic Events

March 3-5 & 8 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 6 at 11 p.m.
St. Edward's University, in front of Trustee Hall (click for campus map).

It is September 12th, 2001; the setting is the Minneapolis apartment of Waverly, a young advertising executive. Soon to venture on a blind date amidst the television news coverage of the September 11th attacks, Waverly becomes preoccupied when she discovers that her twin sister, Wendy, a student in New York, has not been heard from. Waverly reassures herself that Wendy had no reason to be at the World Trade Center. As the evening unfolds, Waverly and her blind date, Andrew, an airport bookstore manager, realize that they are connected by a succession of bizarre coincidences. As Waverly awaits word on Wendy, the date is complicated by visits from her crazed-musician neighbor, Ron, and his girlfriend, Nancy, and a startling visit from Waverly’s great aunt, Joyce Carol Oates—played by a sock puppet. Recommended for adult audiences only.

Recent Tragic Events marks the directorial debut of Chad Duda. Assistant director and stage manager is Kiara Smith. The cast consists of Jacqueline Harper and Sam Buckner and features the performance debuts of Alex Benson, Kendra Perez, and Meredith Montgomery.

SEU's Transit Theatre Troupe is an award-winning student organization dedicated to supporting a variety of charitable organizations through theatrical performances.

In accordance with Transit Theatre Troupe’s mission statement, this production will be free and all proceeds (in the form of donations) will be sent to the Haiti Relief Fund, to assist the nation in their recovery from recent tragic events.
