A Doll’s House

by Henrik Ibsen

October 16-19, 2024  7:30 PM Nightly
Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center

Considered to be a landmark achievement in play writing, “A Doll’s House” shocked the world with its depiction of a wife who dares to express her own views and opinions. Henrik Ibsen’s masterful depiction of the “housewife” Nora Helmer sets a high bar for future playwrights to capture a woman’s journey of self-discovery and freedom from a life bound by someone else’s rules. This modern-theatre classic has captivated audiences for over a hundred years.

Sylvia

by A. R. Gurney

Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center

“Sylvia” by A.R. Gurney is a tail-wagging comedy about a man who finds more than a stray dog in the park—he finds his midlife crisis wrapped in fur! Greg brings Sylvia home against his wife Kate’s wishes, sparking a hilarious battle of wills. Sylvia’s antics—think chasing cats and chewing shoes—push Greg and Kate to their limits. As Greg bonds with Sylvia like a lost soul mate, Kate wonders if she’s been replaced by a four-legged rival. This uproarious play explores love, loyalty, and the absurdity of suburban pet dramas with a bark and a bite! Hilarious and unexpectedly touching.
