Event Notice: BVU Theatre Presents Pair of Plays

STORM LAKE, IA (02/08/2019) (readMedia)-- Buena Vista University's theatre department presents two short plays by Edward Albee at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 14-16 in Anderson Auditorium.

The productions At Home at the Zoo and The American Dream are directed by students Dernisha Hoover, Chicago, Ill., and Chancellor Johnson, Nashua, respectively.

Albee's The American Dream features five confused characters living out a day in an apartment in the early 1960s. Someone has come for answers, someone has come for money, and someone is ready to leave everything behind. In this absurdist fever dream, is anything as it seems?

In Albee's At Home at the Zoo, the main character, Peter, struggles to find out what makes a human an animal and if humans are meant to be in control on his journey to control the animal within.

The casts of both shows are made up of BVU students. Those acting in At Home at the Zoo include Hunter Vasey, Guthrie Center; Diane Nusbaum, Maquoketa; and Jacob Mentzer, Des Moines.

Those taking part in The American Dream are: Hunter Vasey, Guthrie Center; Grace Meyers, Carroll; Justin Forkpa, Urbandale; Olivia Wieseler, Saint Helena, Neb.; and McKenzie Lansing, Delaware.
