William Shakespeare’s classic tale ofstar-crossed love, “Romeo and Juliet,”will be performed by the CambridgeUniversity American Stage Tour at FSUon Friday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. in thePerforming Arts Center’s F. Perry SmithStudio Theatre.

This performance, which is open tothe public, marks the sixth year that the

talented student actors from England’sprestigious Cambridge University havereturned to FSU.

Shakespeare’s famous tale of younglove and ancient hatred is set amidst thepalaces and piazzas of courtly medievalItaly. The ancient feud between thepowerful Montague and Capulet familiesdivides the city of Verona and intensifieswhen passion arises between youngRomeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Thecomic and spectacular aspects of the

The beloved classic “The Wizard of Oz”opens the University 2001-2002 seasonin grand style on Friday, Oct. 5, at 8p.m. in the FSU Performing ArtsCenter’s Drama Theatre. Additionalevening performances are Oct. 6, 11,12 and 13 at 8 p.m. Because of thisproduction’s popularity, two Saturdaymatinees have been scheduled at 2p.m. on Oct. 6 and 13.

Join Dorothy as she discovers themerry old land of Oz with her friends -the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and theCowardly Lion - and tries to get backhome to Kansas.

Originally adapted from the hit MGM movie for the RoyalShakespeare Company, this stage version includes the moviehits, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road,” “We’re Off to See TheWizard,” “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead” and the haunting“Over the Rainbow,” to name just a few.

The season’s second show, Shakespeare’s classic comedy“Love’s Labour’s Lost” is filled with delight, doggerel,duplicity, lighthearted satire and a plethora of puns. Perfor-mances are scheduled in the PAC Drama Theatre at 8 p.m. onNov. 16, 17, 29, 30 and Dec. 1. A matinee is set for Saturday,Nov. 17, at 2 p.m.

The story focuses on a group of strong-willed young menwho pledge to renounce women. As they meet and arecaptivated by four young women, the men ultimately re-examine their decision. The play’s cheerfully unrealisticatmosphere of games and festive play yields, at the last, to amore serious conclusion as the characters consider the age-old question: What should the relationship be between study,work and the life of the mind, and love, play and the life ofthe emotions?

Spring brings contemporary drama to FSU with “BreathBoom” by Cumberland native and former FSU student KiaCorthron, who has created a vivid world, believable and eye-opening, a place worthy of a dramatic visit where nobodywould want to live, but many must. The play opens Friday,March 1, at 8 p.m. in the F. Perry Smith Studio Theatre, with

subsequent evening performances setfor March 2, 7, 8 and 9. A matinee isset for Saturday, March 2, at 2 p.m.

This play is based on Corthron’sextensive research on the lives ofyoung women and street violence. Theplot revolves around Prix, a femalegang member from New York, whoescapes from her hardened life withdreams of creating the perfect fire-works display. Corthron presents anaccurate look at this life and includesthe tough and often poetic languageused by the individuals who experi-

ence it. University Theatre is privileged and proudto present this work for the first time in Western Maryland.

Concluding the season is the contemporary “Fuddy Meers”by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, which opens Friday, April19 at 8 p.m. in the F. Perry Smith Studio Theatre. Eveningperformances are also set for April 20, 25, 26 and 27, and aSaturday matinee is scheduled for April 20 at 2 p.m.

Lindsay-Abaire explores an unusual type of amnesiathrough the experiences of Claire, who loses her memorywhenever she goes to sleep. One morning, like all mornings,Claire’s husband explains her condition and gives her a bookfilled with essential information on her life. When a man in aski mask enters her house and claims to be her brothercoming to rescue her, Claire starts a strange journey to findher past and forgotten life. Her adventure brings her intocontact with several outrageous characters including a dim-witted thug, a claustrophobic policewoman and a crude handpuppet. Claire’s virtual roller-coaster ride as an amnesiac insearch of her fractured life is hilarious, yet disturbing andpoignant.

For information about and reservations, call x4145 between1 and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Season Discount Cardsare available for $21, a special value that allows cardholders toattend “The Wizard of Oz” for free, normally $10 for non-students.
