SUNY ONEONTA TO PRESENT ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

 

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Mask and Hammer, the student theater group of the SUNY College at Oneonta, in conjunction with the College's Theatre Department, will present the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard on Friday-Sunday, November 7-9, and Thursday-Saturday, November 13-15. All performances will take place in the Goodrich Theater of the Fine Arts Building, and they will begin at 8 p.m., except for one matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 9. Tickets are complimentary with a valid SUNY Oneonta identification card or $3 for general admission. Tickets can be reserved by calling the Goodrich Theater Box Office at (607) 436-3100, which is open on weekdays from noon until 4 p.m.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a witty and often absurd comedy about the nature of reality, identity, and our place on the world's stage. The production at SUNY Oneonta features strong performances from a talented cast of student actors. The play is a ground-breaking early work by Tom Stoppard, author of the The Coast of Utopia, which won the 2007 Tony Award for Best Play.

Upcoming theater productions at SUNY Oneonta include Scotland Road, a play by Jeffrey Hammond, on February 12-14, and the musical classic Sweet Charity on April 22-25.
More information about the productions is available from Andrew Kahl of the SUNY Oneonta Theatre Department at (607) 436-3125 or on the web at www.oneonta.edu/academics/theatre/0708season.html
