Winter One Acts

HAIKU by Katherine Snodgrass This sublimely beautiful play won the Heidemann Award at Actors Theatre of Louisville. Though severely brain-injured, Louise is at brief intervals miraculously "normal" and sometimes so super normal that she speaks in beautiful haiku poetry. Her mother has published the poems under her own name. When an older daughter visits, she refuses to believe that her sister Louise composed the extraordinary poems.

LA SERVA PADRONA (The Servant Turned Mistress) is a one act opera about a maid who schemes to marry her master. This comedic intermezzo by Pergolesi employs disguises, trickery, and witty banter through recitative to tell the story of Uberto, Serpina and the mute page, Vespone.

All seats $3 general admission. Call the Welcome Center 574-535-7566 for tickets.
