wanted to do something light-heart
ed and fanciful.”
After researching the period,
Mitchell created sketch ideas for
the set. With the beginning of
school, the sketches will go to the
scene shop, where undergraduate
students will begin work to create
the actual sets. In addition to de
signing the sets, Mitchell will also
be involved in building and paint
ing to ensure the finished product
coincides yvith the original ideas.
“Some of the settings are like a
pop-up book,” Watson said.
The creative set is just part of the
draw of the Robinson’s opening
production. According to Watson,
the cast is experienced and he says
he looks forward to collaborating
with the actors on the light-hearted
production.
• “It’s not the sort of thing that will
tax your brain,” he said. “It should
appeal to all ages.”
“She Stoops to Conquer” will be
gin its run on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. and
show again Nov. 4, 9-11 and 17-18.
A 2 p.m. matinee will run Nov. 12.
Winter
“Dancing at Lughnasa,” a 1992
Tony Award-winning play by Irish
playwright Brian Friel, follows as
the theater’s winter production.
According to The New York
Times, “This play does exactly
what theatre was born to do, carrv
ing both its characters and the audi
ence aloft on those waves of distant
music and ecstatic release that, in
defiance of all language and logic,
let us dance and dream just before
night must fall.”
“Dancing at Lughnasa” will be
gin Jan. 26, at 8 p.m. and show
again Jan. 27, Feb. 1-3 and 9-10. A
2 p.m. matinee will run Feb. 4.

formances, “Electra” is a darker
piece that gives a contemporary
tone and pertinence to a classic
Greek tragedy. Written by Sopho
cles, the play recounts a cycle of
violent actions stimulated by ret
ribution, egoism and passion that
investigate the dissimilarity be
tween “justice” and “justifica
tion.”
Mitchell also will design the set
for “Electra” after completing the
set for the fall production, “She
Stoops to Conquer.”
“I don’t think the set will be tra
ditional,” she said. “It will probably
be gloomy and ponderous.”
“Electra” will begin April 14 at 8
p.m. and show again April 14, 19
21 and 27-28. A 2 p.m. matinee will
run April 22.
The last performance of the
school year at Robinson is “Angels
in America: Part 1, Millennium Ap
proaches.” Created by Tony Kush
ner and a winner of the 1993
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, the
play has been renowned by interna
tional audiences during the last
seven years.
Set in 1985 at the commence
ment of Ronald Reagan’s second
term, the show is created with the
themes of American politics, faith
and identity. The play revolves
around the possible future of the
nation with reoccurring historical
themes.
“Millennium Approaches” will
begin May 25 at 8 p.m. and show
again May 26, 31, June 1-2 and 8-9.
A 2 p.m. matinee will run June 3.
