University of Texas at Arlington’s Department of Theatre Arts presents HARVEY

Playwright Mary Chase won the Pulitzer Prize for this delightful and insightful comedy about seeking happiness, identity, and acceptance of those who are different, and courtesy towards others in our everyday lives. This is the 75th anniversary of the play’s Broadway opening which ran for nearly five years. It has been revived frequently, made into a successful movie, and is performed regularly throughout the world.

Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit.

HARVEY features members of UTA’s Maverick Theatre Company and will be presented in the UT Arlington Mainstage Theatre (Fine Arts Building, North Section, Room 174 near the Gallery) located at 502 South Cooper Street on the UTA campus. Performances of HARVEY are October 9, 10, 11, 12 at 7:30 pm, and October 13 at 2:00 pm, 2019. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $8 for students/senior citizens/UTA faculty & staff.

One Act Operas Coming to UT Arlington Mainstage Theatre

University of Texas at Arlington’s Maverick Theatre Company in a co-production with the Department of Music present Giacomo Puccini’s Opera SUOR ANGELICA sung in English and GIANNI SCHICCHI sung in Italian. The two one act operas will run February 27 – March 4, 2018.

In SUOR ANGELICA, Angelica is a sister in a convent who works and prays happily with the other nuns, but also holds a secret longing and a past shrouded with a dark secret. In GIANNI SCHICCHI, a death has occurred in the noble family of the Donati, leaving a “sorrowful” family eager for their inheritance. Rinuccio Donati, a man in love, seeks the hand of a commoner Lauretta, but when troubles arise in the Donati Mansion, their only hope may be Lauretta’s father, the clever and guile, Gianni Schicchi!

SUOR ANGELICA AND GIANNI SCHICCHI feature UTA students from both Departments of Music and Theatre Arts. Production dates are February 27, March 1 and 3 at 8:00 p.m. and March 4 at 2:30 p.m., 2018 in the UT-Arlington Mainstage Theartre (room 174) of the Fine Arts Building North, located at 502 South Cooper Street on the UT-Arlington campus.
