FLCC PRESENTS SPRING 2006 THEATRE PRODUCTION
|
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (March 14, 2006) - The Finger Lakes Community College Department of Visual and Performing Arts presents "The Complete History of America (Abridged)," written by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tischenor as its spring production.
The play will be performed on Thursday, April 6; Friday, April 7; and Saturday, April 8 at 8:00 p.m. with an additional performance at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 8. The production will take place at the John P. Socha Pavilion, Finger Lakes Community College, Canandaigua, NY. Entry is $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens. Full-price tickets will be available at the door; half-price pre-sale tickets will be available at the Student Life Office starting March 27.
Critic Stephen Holden observes: "'The Complete History of America (Abridged)' interprets the past as a breathlessly-paced sequence of silly vaudeville sketches…puns and crude parodies of movie and television genres. Nothing is sacred and many of the facts have been skewed to suggest the paranoid ravings of a particularly loony tabloid."
The play features students Taylor Barth (Honeoye Falls), Derrick Frenney (Canandaigua), and Eric Purdy (Canandaigua). The play is directed and designed by Jim Perri, technical specialist of the theatre department.
For more information, contact Colleen O'Mara at (585) 394-3500, ext. 7241.
