The Francis Marion
University Theatre's 2013-14 season's fall
production will be An Evening at Provincetown,
directed by professor Dawn Larsen. It
will be performed in the Fine Arts Theater in
Hyman Fine Arts Center on campus.
Located at the extreme tip of Cape Cod, in
the early twentieth century Provincetown transformed from a sleepy New
England coastal town into a magnet for artitstic and literary
talent. Drawing from the rich output of the playwrights who
converged on the town, a group began to self-produce new American plays
on makeshift stages in 1915, later branching out to form the
Provincetown Playhouse in Greenwich Village, New York City.
The University Theatre has selected several seminal one act plays from
1916 and 1917, the earliest days of this movement to produce new drama
during a period when the theatre was both an escape from and a
commentary upon a new world at war.
