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's Maine Masque - one of the oldest student-led theatre groups in the country - presents their latest production, Tennessee Williams' memory play The Glass Menagerie.
The play follows Tom Wingfield, who seeks to escape his stifling life supporting his mother, Amanda, and fragile sister, Laura, in 1930s St. Louis. The desperation within the family spirals, leaving Tom to choose between the comfort of his family and his own happiness.
This important piece of the 20th century theatrical canon will be directed by Owen Hines and is almost entirely student-produced. Tickets are $15, but admission is free with a student MaineCard. The show runs from April 3 through April 12; come see our talented students bring this great American play to vivid life in the Cyrus Pavilion Theater.
