44 Plays for 44 Presidents

The Department of Theater’s season will continue in the spring with 44 Plays for 44 Presidents, a chronological, biographical survey of the lives and presidencies of each of the 44 men who have held the office so far. Originally created by Chicago’s Neo-Futurist Theatre Company (home of the long-running late-night show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind), the show veers from comedy to tragedy and back again—much like history itself. Our production of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents will also be part of the 2012 44 Plays Festival—an exciting year-long event linking 44 separate productions of the play across the country. This performances are scheduled for April 5-7 and April 12-14 at the Allan Carr Theatre in Hixon Hall on South Campus:

Thursday, April 5 at 7:30 pm
Friday, April 6 at 7:30 pm
Saturday, April 7 at 7:30 pm
Thursday, April 12 at 7:30 pm
Friday, April 13 at 7:30 pm
Saturday, April 14 at 7:30 pm
