BOISE STATE THEATRE ARTS PRESENTS "THE MEMORANDUM" APRIL 12-14, 18-22

The Boise State University theatre arts department will close its 30th anniversary season with Vaclav Havel’s "The Memorandum" March 12-14 and 18-22 at the Morrison Center Stage II. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on April 12-14 and 18-21 and 2 p.m. on April 22. The production is directed by Boise State theatre arts professor Ann Klautsch.

Tickets are $9 general admission, $7 for seniors, non-Boise State students and Boise State alumni, available at Select-a-Seat, 426-1766 or www.idahotickets.com. Boise State students and staff are admitted free for all performances and may obtain free tickets at on-campus Select-a-Seat locations only. Free parking is available in the Morrison Center parking lot.

Havel, who established his reputation as a playwright with this dark satire, is now the president of the Czech Republic and a highly esteemed, internationally respected political leader in Europe.

The 15-student cast will bring to life the illogical, indifferent and impersonal world of bureaucracy depicted in "The Memorandum." Within the walls of a large, faceless institution, certain factions try to establish a new language for greater precision and efficiency. As the language proves more and more incomprehensible, it seems to meet with less and less resistance.
