Performances of “She Stoops to Conquer,” a late 18th century comedy directed by Dr. Richard Sears, chair of the English, theatre, and speech communication department, are scheduled for Oct. 25-26, and Oct. 30 - Nov. 2 in the McGaw Theatre beginning each night at 8 p.m.

“She Stoops to Conquer”, subtitled “The Mistakes of the Night,” concerns itself with matchmaking, marriage, as well as character and class as it follows the twisting path of two lovers. Dr. Sears calls it, “ a delightful comedy," and "an enormous pleasure for [him] to work on a script with so much wit and insight, a tremendous sense of fun.” The cast is composed of 24 faculty, staff, and students with additional members working on scenery, lighting, and costumes.

“…for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf…,” the first ever co-production between the Theatre Laboratory and the College’s Black Cultural Center, will premiere in the McGaw Theatre Nov. 13, with repeat performances Nov. 14-16 at 8 p.m. and a final performance Nov. 17 at 2 p.m.

“…for colored girls…” is directed by senior Theatre major Carrie Stuart. “This play speaks to all people, despite what its title suggests,” she said. The play is described as “a beautiful, poignant and inspirational experience that explores what it means to be both black and female.”
