New Play Brings Lives of College
Students to the Stage

Playwright Peter Eliot Weiss can call himself a trendsetter.
In his Haunted House Hamlet, the audience wandered from scene
to Shakespearean scene. Now a trend has emerged with his
current play, Hall of Mirrors. It frees the audience to wander
among 10 tiny rooms to watch intense scenes of self-revelation.

The play, which will be performed at the College’s Studio
Theatre March 13-16, and 19-23, was culled from the journals of
College students. The actors, playing composites of the youthful
journal writers, reveal secrets and inner turmoil. Issues ranging
from abuse to abortion to religion to politics bubble up.

Director Dawn Moore suggests that the power of the play
comes from its truthfulness. The audience, being so close, forms
a bond with the actors and gains insight into the lives of youth.

Performances are at 8 p.m. each night in the Studio Theatre,
R105. General admission is $8 or $7 for students when advance
tickets are purchased or $9/$8 at the door. Call local 2592 to
reserve. tickets.
