I am the Pilot in Command by Susan Pfeffer
Directed by Susan Pfeffer
March 1, 2 and 6, 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 and March 3 at 1:30
New hire, Assistant Professor Susan Pfeffer, was inspired to create this dance theatre performance by her flight on a home-built two-seater Glastar plane, after the pilot declared, “I am the pilot in command” prior to take off. Pfeffer brings expertise in contemporary trends in theatre from her alma mater Naropa University and develops performances of pedestrian and athletic movement collaged with found and new text. First debuted with Home Soil Theatre in Seoul, South Korea, the second inception of I Am the Pilot in Command continues to build on images from The Wizard of Oz, the wisdom of Buddhist thought, pilot blogs, flight checklists, pilot and flight attendant characteristics and examines how we seek to regain control in moments of instability. Join us for a new era of original university theatre making.

Hot L Baltimore by Lanford Wilson
Directed by Stacey Spain
April 19, 20 and 24, 25, 26, 27 at 7:30 and April 21 at 1:30
The scene is the lobby of a hotel so seedy that it has lost the "e" from its marquee. As the action unfolds, the residents, ranging from young to old, from the defiant to the resigned, meet and talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. The drama is of passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human comedy, with conversations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musical flow. In the resulting mosaic each character emerges clearly and perceptively defined, and the sum total of what they are—or wish they were—becomes a poignant, powerful call to America to recover lost values and to restore itself in its own and the world's eyes. This production is presented through generous support from the City of Reno Arts and Culture Commission.
Winner of the New York Drama Circle Award, the Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award.
