Theatre and Dance to present ‘A Night Out’
The Department of Theatre and Dance will present Harold Pinter's comedy “A Night Out” Feb. 24-28 in the Black Box Theatre in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.
Performance times are at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
“A Night Out” epitomizes the early plays of the late, Nobel-Prize-winning British playwright Pinter, with its dry humor, minimalist text and extraordinary rhythms and musicality. The play follows the young working class Albert through a single day and night, as he rebels against his family, his peers and society.
The production will be directed by Vincent O'Neill, associate professor of theatre and dance, and a co-founder and artistic director of Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre Company.
Tickets for “A Night Out” are $18 for general admission and $10 for students and seniors and are available at the CFA box office and at all Ticketmaster locations, including Ticketmaster.com.

The Feb. 19 faculty recital featuring organist Roland E. Martin, scheduled to be held in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus, has been indefinitely postponed due to personal injury.
