The Zoo Story
Directed by student Tim Paulette, is a one-act play by American playwright Edward Albee. His first play, it was written in 1958 and completed in just three weeks. The play explores themes of isolation, loneliness, miscommunication as anathematization, social disparity and dehumanization in a materialistic world.
No Exit
Directed by student Sunae Fisher, is a theatrical representation of Sartre’s philosophical ideas regarding Existentialism, about which he wrote quite a lot. In particular, the play demonstrates his theories about subjectivity and the human “gaze,” which he outlines in his book-length essay Being and Nothingness.

March 6-8 @ 7:30 p.m. | March 9 @ 2:30 p.m.
First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage and the resulting satire of Victorian conformity.
