LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL
8 p.m. McGaw Theatre
comedy-drama by Ketti Frings, from the novel by Thomas Wolfe, directed by Albert DeGiacomo
An authentic American (Appalachian) classic, this powerful and vital play captures the sardonic humor and the grief, both private and universal, of Wolfe's novel about a youth coming to age (in Asheville, N.C.) Concentrating on the last third of Wolfe's story, the play vividly portrays Eugene Gant, his mother who is obsessed by her material holdings and who maintains barriers against the love of her family, the father -- a stonecutter imprisoned by his failures, and the brother who never breaks away.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Critics' Award as best play of the season (1957).

THE MEMORANDUM
a play by Vaclav Havel
directed by Richard Sears
The Orwellian gem is set in a model political bureaucracy where a harassed manager unwittingly authorizes an experiment that will introduce a new bureaucratic jargon to supplant the popular language and expedite regimentation. The fellow who engineered the scheme now bypasses his manager and becomes manager himself. The results of the new jargon are ludicrous -- nobody is able to translate the new directives. The former manager fights back from his night-watchman job to regain his previous eminence, only to encounter a still newer gibberish designed to supplant the last one.
