Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
By Alan Ball
Directed by Chelsea Anderson

Five bridesmaids, taking refuge in a bedroom during a wedding reception, reveal their true vulnerabilities–their pasts, their dreams and their hurts–and realize that despite their differences, they have more in common with each other than the bride.

Same Time, Next Year
By Bernard Slade
Directed by Amanda Schwab
A married accountant and a housewife meet in a California inn in 1951 and begin an affair lasting more than 25 years. Meeting only once a year for a weekend getaway at the same hotel, they develop a deep emotional bond while adapting to the social changes affecting their lives.

The Man Who Couldn’t Dance
By Jason Katims
Directed by Mason Absher
Alge is a young man who has lost both of his legs below the knees, and must wear prosthetic legs. Nonetheless, he is steadfast in his determination to learn to dance, despite the best efforts of his friend Sue to get him to try another hobby. His inventiveness, Sue's sewing and the willing participation of a respondent to a newspaper ad lead to his eventual success.

Fat Pig
By Neil LaBute
Directed by Britany Frymier
Tom falls hard for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized– and then some. Forced to explain his new relationship to his shallow friends, Tom finally comes to terms with his own preconceptions of the importance of conventional good looks.

The Good Person of Szechwan

02-19-2010 at 8:00 PM
Esch Hall, Ransburg Auditorium

Tickets: $10; $8 students, seniors and groups of 8 or more; Free for UIndy students, faculty and staff

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR OR THROUGH THE BOX OFFICE, (317) 788-3251.

When three gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good person, they encounter Shen Teh, a goodhearted but penniless prostitute, who offers them shelter. Rewarded with enough money to open a tobacco shop, the “Angel of the Slums” Shen Teh soon becomes so overwhelmed by the demands of people seeking assistance that she invents a male alter ego, “Tobacco King” Shui Ta, to deal ruthlessly with the business of living in an evil world. One of Bertolt Brecht’s most celebrated works, this intercultural play blends his fascination with Chinese theatricality, German politics, and American detective novels into a fast-moving, comic consideration of Right and Wrong in the real world.

Contains adult themes and language.
