CURRENT PROJECTS


Sevin Akbar as Lord Summerhays

IN

Misalliance

By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Ethan McSweeny
Performed in the CFA Studio Theatre

“I do so want something to happen.”

Feisty disagreements between parents and children are inevitable, particularly when discussing mating, marriage, morality or the proper care of guests who literally crash through the conservatory ceiling. Shaw’s marvelous comedy finds John Tarleton, the underwear king, and his independent-minded daughter, Hypatia, tangling with a passel of guests—both invited and uninvited—and with a parade of hilarious debates revolving around the superiority of the female sex, the state of social class, and the madness of love and lust. Hypatia is restless with her engagement as the play starts, even as it is revealed she has also had a proposal of engagement from her betroved's father, Lord Summerhays, who has been awarded the honor of Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE) for his leadership role in the far-flung British Empire. She has no desire to be a nurse to the elderlywidow. She longs for some adventure to drop out of the sky, and it does.

Sevin Akbar as Lincoln
in
Topdog/Underdog

By Suzan-Lori Parks
Directed by Walter Dallas
Performed in the CFA Studio Theatre

Mesmerizing dialog, tantalizing rhythms and the disturbing use of cultural icons make this Pulitzer Prizing-winning play an absolute “Must See. Brotherly love and hatred take center stage with the sardonically named Lincoln and Booth, siblings trapped in society’s racial and gender pigeonholes. Lincoln, a former con man and Three Card Monte sharp, gave up the card con and now works at a carnival, dressing up in whiteface as Abraham Lincoln, primed for fake assassinations. Booth has taken up his brother’s old vice and is attempting to lure Lincoln back to the street. Both frightening and funny, the unsettling allegory and brilliant wordplay will have you checking your stereotypes and your wallet as you leave the theatre.
