A drama about an American bomber pilot stranded in a war-torn country and a rock musical based on The Who's iconic concept album "Tommy" (1969) will be presented in February by the Theatre and Interpretation Center (TIC) at Northwestern University. Both stage productions are part of the inaugural Masters-in-the-Making series, which showcases the talents of third-year master of fine arts (MFA) students.
To begin the 2009-10 Mainstage Season in October, the Theatre and Interpretation Center (TIC) at Northwestern University welcomes Tony Award-winning director Frank Galati with his production of the classic farce-comedy ?Arsenic and Old Lace,? featuring guest artists Dennis Zacek and John Mohrlein and award-winning Northwestern acting faculty Cindy Gold and Mary Poole as the sinister, but hilarious sisters.
