Produced by Blank Page Theatre Co. in association with Covenant College
Directed by Matthew Mindeman ‘17

Sanderson Auditorium
Tickets

Hitmen, Ben (Jason Russell) and Gus (Peter Upton ‘13), must await their next assignment while cooped up in a dingy basement. Harold Pinter’s famous one act, The Dumb Waiter, is a classic example of theater of the absurd. Highly influenced by the works of Samuel Beckett, Pinter has masterfully crafted The Dumb Waiter to be simultaneously intensely dramatic and laugh out loud funny. This production will feature live, original music composed and performed by John Reeder ‘16. Join us for this one of a kind production!

JANE EYRE

Adapted by Anya Klumpenhower `24
Based on a novel by Charlotte Brontë
Directed by Prof. Camille Hallstrom
November 14 and 15 at 7:30 pm
November 16 at 2:30 pm
Sanderson Auditorium

One of literature’s most famous romance novels, Charlotte Brontë’s revolutionary Jane Eyre was the first to focus on the moral and spiritual development of its protagonist through intimate first-person narrative. Gothic in mood and having a strong sense of Christian morality, it’s been considered ahead of its time for its treatment of class, sex and feminism -- together with Jane's remarkable, individualistic character. The play will feature Luisa Monteiro-Oliveira (’25) in the title role for her senior Capstone project, with costume design by Jessica Seabolt (’25) for hers.
