More than 90 Miles from Home
by Colette Krogol

More than 90 Miles from home explores Colette Krogol’s Cuban-American identity and the oral stories told to her throughout her life by her maternal Cuban family. Through movement, poetry and film, Colette attempts to piece together reality and dream by coming to terms with the truth that the Cuba she knows from her families stories exists vividly but solely in her mind. She can deeply hear, taste, feel, smell, and be with her Cuba but only for as long as each story goes. This work weaves together personal moments of history, loss, mystery, anger, joy and family while reorienting the viewer’s cinematic experience by encouraging them to investigate their surroundings and take on new perspectives.

“To me it isn’t just 90 miles when you can never go back home.” – Mom

Snake Telegram
by Sarah Beth Oppenheim

Oppenheim performs a soft and vicious solo evening which unravels from maneuvered folds into an operetta of savage and coarse dimensions. It is both mystery and surprise that arcs from coil to cry as its plucked and tarnished movements dance to cool, cool jazz.

The Weekday Players
This Is Our Youth
Sunday, November 15, 2015. 2PM & 7PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Cafritz Foundation Theatre, Free Admission, no tickets required.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: This performance contains adult subject matter and strong language.

The Weekday Players are proud to present “This is Our Youth” by Kenneth Lonergan for this fall.

A hit off-Broadway in 1996 and in a a Broadway revival in 2014, This is Our Youth follows three young adults in the Upper West Side of Manhattan over the course of one evening. Dennis Ziegler’s friend Warren Straub has been kicked out of his house, and has also stolen $15,000 from his father. Dennis and another friend, Jessica, have their own agendas and plans for the money, which ultimately ties the characters together as the play explores themes of materialism, adolescence, and maturity.

The Weekday Players are excited to present this timely show, as organized, acted, and produced by University of Maryland students. The show is free to the general public.
