Nebraska Wesleyan University to Stage
True West
LINCOLN, Neb. – Two brothers – who are
as different as night and day – will concoct a scheme to write
a screen play that is a contemporary “true western.” The
scheme begins Friday night when the play True West opens
at Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Miller Theater.
The comedy is a biting satire of sibling rivalry,
Hollywood dreams and California’s new age philosophy. The show
was written by Sam Shepard and is directed by Jack Parkhurst. Four
Nebraska Wesleyan students will share the spotlight including Matthew
Lukasiewicz of Hastings, Scott Gealy of Lincoln, Kylie Fogland of
Grand Island, and Ryan Kathman of Omaha. The audience will have
a chance to see the actors who are playing the two brothers in both
roles, as the duo is alternating parts for the run of the show.
True West opens Friday, November 1, beginning
at 7:30 p.m. in Miller Theater, located in the Elder Memorial Speech
and Theatre Center, 51st and Huntington Avenue. Additional performances
are scheduled for November 2,3 and November 7-9 at 7:30 p.m. Admission
is $10 for adults, $7.50 for youth (age 12-17) and $5 for children
under 12. Tickets are available by calling the McDonald Theater
Box Office at (402) 465-2384.
