FRIDAY & SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29-30
The members of the class of 2017 present “…And Blue: Yeats Plays and Cabaret.” This is an ambitious production of drama, comedy, and music.
The first act presents three short Yeats plays with live Irish music. After intermission, the cast and audience will move into a studio space to enjoy a raucous cabaret featuring short pieces by Christopher Durang and delicious sweet and savory refreshments. The play has some mature content and is recommended for high school age and older.
Tickets: $5.00
Because the venues are small, there are only 50 tickets for each performance. Tickets are available online here or call Laura: 495-0834 x 100.
The $5 fee covers the cost of the refreshments.
Thursday, October 27, 7 pm at the Plainfield Opera House

Saturday, October 29, 4 pm and 8 pm, also at North End Studios.
About the Yeats plays: The three short Yeats plays comprise the first act, and are done with music. “Dreaming of the Bones” explores themes of forgiveness when an Irish rebel escaping from the British encounters the ghosts of the couple who first invited the English into Ireland. “Land of Heart’s Desire” traces the temptation of a newly-married bride to leave her parents-in-law and husband and go off with the faeries. Finally, “At Hawk’s Well” presents us with an old man who has spent his life waiting at a magical spring where the infrequently flowing water confers immortality.
