Students in the Theatre Arts Program present “Middletown” by Will Eno at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2 in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre, located in the Siek Campus Center. Admission is free at all performances.<\/p>\n
Eno’s play is a moving and witty inquiry into what it means to live out the “middle” of one’s life in a small town community where the middle of life begins right after one is born and lasts until one’s death. The college’s production is directed by Assistant Professor Roseanne Raneri.<\/p>\n
As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge and new arrival Mary Swanson, the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and poignant ways in a journey that takes them from the local library to outer space and points between. Middletown features a wide array of characters \u2014 cop, mechanic, librarian, to name just a few \u2014 who together populate the play with Eno’s trademark subversive style.<\/p>\n
“Will Eno is an original, a maverick wordsmith whose weird, wry dramas gurgle with the grim humor and pain of life,” \u2014 The Guardian. <\/em>He has been called “a Samuel Beckett for the John Stewart generation.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 21 Nov 2017 13:40:44 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Students in the Theatre Arts Program present “Middletown” by Will Eno at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
