LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

Directed by Rebecca Marzalek-Kelly

Performances: October 19-25 at 8pm (Sunday Matinee at 2pm)

BLACK BOX THEATER, Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater on the Skidmore College Campus

SYNOPSIS: Based on the Swedish novel and film by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne, Skidmore Theater presents the national college premiere of Let The Right One In. Awash in innocence and shrouded in darkness, the forces collide when young schoolboy Oskar meets his new next-door neighbor, Eli. Oskar is bullied, lonely, and from a broken home - all of which pale in comparison to the strange and secretive rituals of Eli. A bond is welded between the two unlikely misfits while, at the same time, a series of bone-chilling murders begin. Their extraordinary connection will be pushed beyond all imaginable limits in this haunting coming-of-age love story. Let the Right One In is an enchanting, brutal, and tender vampire tale recommended for brave and openhearted audience members. Guest directed by Brooklyn-based theater artist, choreographer, and Skidmore College alum, Rebecca Marzalek-Kelly. Presented by arrangement with Marla Rubin Productions Ltd.

Charles L. Mee's

BIG LOVE

Directed by Carolyn Anderson

Performances: NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 3 at 8pm (Saturday at 2pm + 8 pm, Sunday at 2pm)

MAINSTAGE THEATER, Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater on the Skidmore College Campus

SYNOPSIS: Written by two-time Obie Award-winning playwright Charles L. Mee, Big Love fuses the ancient and the modern by bringing the plot of Greek tragedian Aeschylus's The Suppliants into the modern era. The story follows fifty sisters as they arrive at a manor in Italy, having fled Greece to avoid marrying their fifty cousins. Known for his adaptations of Greek plays, Mee uses the timeless themes of The Suppliants to raise issues of gender politics, love, and domestic violence to a modern audience in this violent, musical, and comic production.
