UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT TITUSVILLE and TITUSVILLE WINTER THEATRE present the 2001-2002
SPOTLIGHT SERIES
Monday, October 8, 2001 Plaza
Suite
by Neil Simon Performed by the Repertory Theater of America 7:30 p.m. Henne Auditorium
Make a reservation for laughs with this top-notch comedy by Neil Simon that details the misadventures of three very different couples as they face crucial moments in their respective lives—all in the same hotel room in the famous Plaza Hotel. Plaza Suite – the three-act play that has been a three star hit with audiences for over 30 years. *** Wednesday, October 17, Thursday, October 18, and Friday, October 19, 2001 Harvey by Mary Chase Performed by the Titusville Winter Theatre Directed by D.J. Sylvis 7:30 p.m. Henne Auditorium
What more is there to say than the name? The mere utterance of Harvey conjures up images of giant rabbits in our heads. Except… Harvey is invisible, which means no one can really see Harvey… unless you happen to be Elwood P. Dowd, that lovable eccentric who, with his imaginary friend Harvey, drives the rest of his family crazy.
*** Thursday, November 8, 2001 The Best of The Second City Performed by The Second City National Touring Company 7:30 p.m. Henne Auditorium
Hold on to your sides, because you will laugh until it hurts when the troupe from Second City tickles not just your funny bone, but every bone in your body. The Second City troupe launched the careers of Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Joan Rivers, John Candy and Martin Short and inspired Saturday Night Live and Whose Line Is It Anyway?
*** Tuesday, January 22, 2002 Reader’s Theatre Radio Show Performed by the Titusville Winter Theatre Directed by Dwight Proper
Complimentary
show – no charge.
Seating on a first-come basis. 7:30 p.m. Boomer’s
Experience a live radio performance circa the 1930s-40s with all the bangs, bells and whistle sound effects that delighted listeners as they sat at home in their parlors during that era. The performance will be a comedic surprise, one of three possible shows—the Marx Brothers Duck Soup or Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion or Fibber Magee. Step back in time for some old-fashioned fun.
*** Wednesday, February 6, 2002 Cellist
Mikhail Istomin and His Piano Trio 7:30 p.m. Henne Auditorium

Your hearts will sing and your spirits will soar as you listen to the enchanting voices of the Heinz Chapel Choir.

Boys Next Door
by Tom Griffin Performed by the Titusville Winter Theatre Directed by Paul Lukach 7:30 p.m. Haskell Auditorium
Your belief in mankind will be reaffirmed with this funny, yet touching portrayal of four mentally challenged men who share a house and learn, as does the audience, that there’s no place like home.
