1992-93 Mermaid Players Season America: Night and Day
The Crucible by Arthur Miller October 23,24,26,27
Three-hundred years ago, the Salem witch trials cast their dark shadow across the American consciousness. In an environment of superstition and unreason, intolerance and religious tyranny thrived. In 1953, Arthur Miller cast light upon the specters of our past and, in doing so, illuminated the hypocricy of a new cold war, witch hunt. Based on court records and historical personages, the playwright has penned a searching drama that, while painting society at its most dreadful, diversive, and desperate, ultimately reaffirms the dignity of man and asserts that, even in the darkest times, truth will prevail.
With Music by Cole Porter February 12, 13, 15, 16
Here's the way it's all meant to be as loveable gangsters, loveable clowns, and loveable lovers mix it up on a luxury liner to the intoxicating music of Cole Porter. "You're the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "It's Delovely," and "All Through the Night" are just a few of the featured songs in this high-stepping American musical classic. Dickinson's Drama and Music Departments are proud to present the U.S. college premiere of the famous 1988 Lincoln Center revival production of Anything Goes.
by Lanford Wilson April 9,10,12,13
The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved. -Jer. 8:20 In this Drama Desk Award-winning play written in 1966, Lanford Wilson explodes the Norman Rockwell landscape of small town America to reveal the Edward Munch reality lurking beneath the surface. The author of Hot'L Baltimore turns family values on their ear in this dramatic collage that spins humor, compassion, anger, and suspense into a powerful mirror image of Our Town.
