SFA Theatre to Present Tennessee Williams Play
Sylvia Bierschenk - November 19, 2007
NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - The Stephen F. Austin State University College of Fine Arts and School of Theatre will present a student-directed production of Tennessee Williams' "27 Wagons Full of Cotton" at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, and at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec.1 in the Downstage Theater of the Griffith Fine Arts Building.
The one-act play revolves around a cotton plantation owner, Jake, and his wife, Flora, and their problems. Jake is so worried about his business going under that he burns the cotton plantation owned by his competitor, Silva Vicarro, and Flora is a lost woman who equates love with the emotional and physical abuse put upon her by her husband, explained director Matt Oliver, Houston senior.
The play is recommended for mature audiences.
The cast consists of Houston junior Xzavien Hollins, playing Jake; Houston freshman Jaqueline Pirtle, portraying Flora; and Sugar Land sophomore Blake Weir, playing Vicarro.
Oliver previously directed "The Red Coat" and served as the hair and make-up designer for "The Night of the Iguana," "States of Grace," "Chamber Music," "Grease" and "Medal of Honor." He also played Fedya in "The Two Maples" and was a crew member for "Anton in Show Business," "Member of the Wedding," "Six Characters in Search of an Author," A Cheever Evening" and "Die Fledermaus."
Tickets are $3 each. For tickets or more information, please call (936) 468-6407.
