University Players has announced an “exciting and fun-filled” lineup of plays for 2012/13, says Lionel Walsh, director of the School of Dramatic Art.
“This season has a focus on comedy,” he says. “We’re positive you will laugh, giggle, and guffaw through a series of outstanding plays from the world of theatre.”
University Players completes its 53rd season with Neil LaBute’s modern comedy Some Girl(s), March 29 to April 1 and April 11 to 15 at Essex Hall Theatre.
This hysterical comedy follows “Guy” – a magazine writer about to be married – to four hotel rooms in four cities, where he meets with four past lovers. He hopes to clear the air between them, which proves difficult considering he fled these relationships years ago and used them as material for his articles. Can this commitment-phobe warm his cold feet without getting burned by his old flames?
