The 2005 fall production will be The Dormitory by Burton Bumgarner and will be held Thur - Sat, November 17-19 in the Surbeck Ballroom at 7:00PM each night.

 

Story:

On the campus of an unnamed liberal arts college in an unnamed Midwestern state, a dormitory has served as a home to students for over 100 years.  Set in a first-floor room of this dormitory, the play opens in the present (1980's) when two college freshmen, Jake and Clay, become roommates during the year before the dorm is torn down.  Their story is interwoven with a century of college antics and hijinks, hopes and tragedies, as the previous residents act out their moments in the same dorm room.  We meet the dormitory's occupants from the early days of the century, the Great Depression, the second World War, the early days of rock and roll, the turbulent '60s and the final decades of the century.  Some of the early residents return to visit during reunions and homecomings.  Each story leaves behind a memento for the puzzled Jake and Clay.  Though rules and times change, it becomes clear at the end that the residents have their effects on one another and that history creates the present at this small college.
