The liberal arts degree in Theatre at the University of Maine offers the undergraduate a broad range of study essential to developing the whole person. Within the Theatre/Dance Division, the student may elect to focus on a specific area of interest by selecting a group of courses beyond the core requirements, or to explore all areas of the theatre curriculum. Options for specialization include: History, Literature, and Performance Studies; and Directing, Acting, Design, and Technology. Learning by participation is our philosophy and one of our strengths. Majors are required to participate in main stage productions, and encouraged to become involved in student-directed shows. Many classes culminate in production and performance experience, including directing of original scripts. Our objective is to offer each student a balance of the academic, practical, and artistic aspects of theatre, and much personal guidance throughout their academic careers.
Description
The University of Maine School of Performing Arts is proud to present their production of Wyoming by Brian Watkins. Directed by Jonathan Berry, this show runs from February 27 through March 2 in Hauck Auditorium on the UMaine campus. Tickets are $12, with students getting free admission with a student MaineCard.
Wyoming is, essentially, a mystery that lives in the complicated terrain of familial relationships. A family is gathering for Thanksgiving and a surprise guest has been invited – the older brother who has been in jail for years having been charged with the killing of their father. This prodigal son has not uttered a single word since the death, leaving motive unclear and truth unseen. As we move through time, we see glimpses of the history that has remained hidden, and slowly a picture starts to emerge – for the audience and the family alike.
