The Department of Theatre presents Action, a
rarely performed play by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright
and film actor Sam Shepard, directed by Colette Searls.
Action takes you right into the living room of a post-apocalyptic
holiday. Liza, Lupe, Jeep and Shooter are trapped in a
cold, isolated cabin after a mysterious “crisis.”
Time has passed since the days of mass-media and indoor
plumbing and they are struggling to pull off a holiday
meal. Limited food, an uncertain future and overwhelming
boredom begin to take their toll with disturbing and absurd
results. In this hilarious marriage between the realistic
and bizarre, Shepard offers a stirring look at the unplugged
American mind.
Direction: Colette Searls
Set/Costume Design: Elena Zlotescu
Light/Sound Design: Terry Cobb
Vocal Direction: Wendy Salkind
