ACROBATS
by Israel Horovitz
Directed by K. Ramona Orr
Ramona's interest in Acrobats began with the metaphor through which the ac
tion is presented. A COUJ?le, husband and wife are professional performers.
Their personal relationship and related conflicts begin to affect their perfor
mances. They come to reahze how interdependent they are and how deep their
resentment of this dependence is. Yet they also come to realize how deeply
they care for each other. Acrobats explores J?OWer conflicts and struggles to
retain one's individuality in human relationships. This production has been a
great challenge to the director and cast, as they have limited experience in
acrobatics,
THE EXCEPTION AND THE RULE
by Bertolt Brecht
Translated by Eric Bentley
Directed by James McLean
The Exception and the Rule was first produced in 1936. It invites the
audience to accompany the characters in a race across the desert, to an oil
field. The play is bitterly relevant to present world events. James McLean
was motivated to produce The Exc~tion and the Rule for he feels it "tells
the truth about human interaction" isplaying the bitter poignance of social
failings. "It speaks the unspoken rules of class distinction", in such a way, he
assures that the audience can perceive the issues in a humorous light without
denying their existence ..
