Boise State Presents Calderon's 'Life is a Dream'     Oct. 5-10

---

The Boise State University theatre arts department will present Spanish playwright Calder�n de la Barca's "Life is a Dream" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5-9 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 9-10 in the Morrison Center Stage II. Admission is $10 general; $9 for non-Boise State students, Boise State alumni and seniors; and free for Boise State full-time students, faculty and staff through Select-a-Seat. Directed by theatre arts professor Ann Hoste, "Life is a Dream" is one of the most popular plays of the Spanish Golden Age. Calder�n's hauntingly poetic drama explores the conflict between free will and predestination, and the nature of power. The play tells the story of a Polish prince, Segismund, who is imprisoned in a tower from birth by his father, King Basilio, because of omens at his birth predicting disaster. When a stranger stumbles across his prison, romance, revenge and honor combine to right his claim to life and the crown. The cast includes Matt Melton as Segismund, Jessika Boyll as Rosaura, Josh Belville as Clotaldo, Nicky Barger as Estrella, Ian Mundorff as Basilio and Roger Venable as Astolfo. -30- Contact: Ann Hoste, Theatre Arts Department, (208) 426-4007, ahoste@boisestate.edu                                                              Media Contact: Kathleen Craven, communications and marketing, (208) 426-3275, kcraven@boisestate.edu Online at: http://news.boisestate.edu.
