HOWELL THEATRE, 7:30PM
UNL's University Theatre's Presents Medea
UNL Theatre's University Theatre
continues performances of the classic Greek tragedy MEDEA by Robinson
Jeffers, freely adapted from Euripides. The production, directed
by Associate Professor Virginia Smith, will will be performed tonight
and Friday at 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2pm in Howell Theatre, first
floor of the Temple Building at 12th and R Streets
Taking one of the world's greatest
dramas, Jeffers paints an unforgettable psychological portrait of
a woman scorned. The story, over two thousand years old, seems ripped
from today's headlines as anger, betrayal, and alienation befall
Medea. Abandoned by her husband, Jason, Medea's ultimate revenge
leads to the slaughter of beauty and innocence.
The undergraduate cast includes Cecilia Stinner as Medea, Brittany
Leffler as her Nurse, Brett Waldon as Jason, Jeff Nathan as Creon,
Jack Carpenter as the children's Tutor, John Paul Wilson as Aegeus,
Steve Lenz as the Slave, Caitlin Brandes, Brianne Bassler, and Jesse
Glasgow as the classic Chorus. Graduate students Cate Wieck, Na-Ri
Lee and Mike Legate design costumes/masks, scenery and sound, respectively. Undergraduates
Simon Yost (lighting and graphic design), Jason Slaughter (stage
management), and Mitch Critel (technical direction) round out the
production team. Medea's children are played by elementary students
Dustin Hauptman and Andrew DeCamp.
Individual tickets are $14, $12 for faculty/staff and senior citizen,
and $10 for students and youth. Groups of 20 or more persons may
purchase tickets at 50% of the regular price. Tickets may be purchased
from the Lied Center Box Office 11am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday

Final Performance of RENT at
the Lied
In 2001, Rent stormed Lincoln
with a record-breaking run at the Lied Center for Performing Arts.
This is the final show of the 2004 run of Rent. Don't miss
the chance to experience the phenomenon for yourself.
From the Pulitzer Prize to the Tony sweep, from the critical accolades
to the nightly ovations, Jonathan Larson's musical has become an
American icon.
Rent is about being young in New York, being brave and being
scared, being in love and being in trouble but having hope for today
and faith in tomorrow.
