"The Zoo Story" and "The American Dream" Open Friday February 1!



"The Zoo Story
and  
“The American Dream”

USM Theatre brings a horrifying and hilarious duo of plays 
to the Portland Stage Studio Theatre February 1 - 10

USM Department of Theatre is pleased to present The Zoo Story and The American Dream – written by Edward Albee and directed by William Steele.
Two men meet at a park bench. A neighbor visits a suburban family. These innocuous premises become savage satire in two of Edward Albee’s famed plays.  By turns horrifying and hilarious, these one-acts offer a singular vision of a world spinning off its axis.  As unflinching indictments of American idealism, this is a theatrical event that will send you reeling.
Performances are at the Portland Stage Company Studio Theatre in Portland, February 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 p.m. And February 3, 6, 10 at 5 p.m. 
Ticket prices are as follows:
Adult: $15, Student: $8, Senior: $11, USM Faculty, Staff, Alumni: $11
$5@five Show: October 17 at 5 p.m., all seats $5.
