Mary Moody Northen Theatre to Present MISALLIANCE, 2/12-22

By:

Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward's University theatre training program, continues its 2014-2015 season with George Bernard Shaw's Misalliance, running February 12 - 22, 2015.

Heiress to her father's underwear fortune, Hypatia is engaged to the perfectly acceptable but astoundingly dull Bently Summerhays. Bored beyond measure, she longs for adventure to fall out of the sky. But what are the odds on a lazy Sunday afternoon in Surrey in 1909? Lucky Hypatia has Shaw on her side, so things are looking up indeed. Peppered with a plane crash, eight proposals, a lone gunman, a Polish woman gymnast and a sound Shavian skewering of love and marriage, this breezy and spirited comedy will leave you laughing, appreciating your intellect and, perhaps, longing for a lemonade on the veranda. Featuring Equity guests Sheila Gordon, David Stahl and Michael Stuart.

Mary Moody Northen Theatre operates on a professional model and stands at the center of the St. Edward's University Theatre Training Program. Through MMNT, students work alongside professional actors, directors and designers, explore all facets of theatrical production and earn points towards membership in Actor's Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers in the United States. MMNT operates under an AEA U/RTA contract and is a member of Theatre Communications Group.
