Upcoming Events
Theatre Arts presentsTWO SPRING SHOWS!Two new shows will be presented at the UND Burtness Theatre this spring. The first show will be "True West" written by the famous playwright Sam Shepard. The next show will be Shakespeare’s "A Comedy of Errors." "True West" opens Feb. 27, and runs until March 3 in the Burtness Lab Theatre. "A Comedy of Errors" will be held on the Burtness Theatre main stage and opens April 17, and runs until April 27. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m. "True West" is a play in which two brother’s jealousy and competitive ways lead to a perfect mix of comedy and drama. One brother is a thief with a bad drinking problem, the other is a well-to-do screenwriter from the suburbs. As the play progresses, the two almost switch roles and they slowly become the same person. A thief writing a play? A screenwriter from the suburbs getting drunk and stealing from the local houses? It turns out to be a great play.
This production of "True West" will be student directed. Not only is it directed by a student, but the set will be designed by a student and the lighting, costumes, and sound are also all done by the students. Our second offering for this spring will be William Shakespeare’s "A Comedy of Errors," a hilarious tale of mistaken identity. Two long-lost twin brothers cross paths and the confusion begins. One of the brothers ends up in jail and the other brother is presumed to have gone mad. All the while unbeknownst to them, their father is in the same city and is about to be put to death unless he can find the money to save himself from the gallows. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m. For more information and reservations, contact the Department of Theatre Arts box office at 777-2587.
