Winter Play

Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll
Adapted and Directed by Todd Farley
January 31, February 1-2 & 7-9, 2008
Lab Theatre

Lewis Carroll's fantastic tale takes on a new twist in this whimsical mimo-drama (a mix of physical and spoken theatre). Familiar characters such as the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatter, Jabberwocky, and Alice will charm the audience with their mime, full-body puppetry, and fanciful banter. Calvin Theatre Company's Alice in Wonderland celebrates a creativity and childlike imagination that defies common sense yet in the process touches something deeply hidden in our hearts--delight.

Spring Play

The Women of Locherbie
by Deborah Brevoort
Directed by Stephanie Sandberg
April 10-12 & 17-19, 2008
Part of the Festival of Faith & Writing
Gezon Theatre

A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland looking for her son's remains which were lost in the crash of Pan Am flight 103. She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the US government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane's wreckage. The women, determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victim's families. Although the characters and situations in the play are purely fictional, The Women of Lockerbie is loosely inspired by a true story. Written in the structure of a Greek tragedy, it is poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate.
