Glendale Community College's Fall 2008 Theater Program in Glendale, California

Glendale Community College in Glendale, California is putting on two plays this semester.

Opening first is Savage in Limbo, by John Patrick Shanley. Which centers around Denise Savage, a woman who is a virgin at 32, and meeting former friends in a seedy bar. Her friends Linda and April, along with Murk the bartender and Linda's boyfriend, Tony all take the plot through interesting twists and turns along the way. Both exceedingly endearing, and comical at times, this play also tugs at the heartstrings. Touching on the themes of loneliness, unfaithfulness, and betrayal. Savage in Limbo is a play that is not to be missed. Performances start October 9th-19th in the Studio Theater on campus. Tickets are available at the door.

Next on the Fall playbill is William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Set in 1940's film noir style, at the end of WWII, director Jeanette Farr puts her own unique spin on this classic tale. The Play focuses on Macbeth, a Scottish nobleman and his bloody rise and fall from power. Explored in this play will be politics, mental illness, spirituality, and much more. Performances for this show are November 6th-16th, and are in the Mainstage Auditorium. Tickets are available at the door, or by calling (818) 240-1000 ext. 5618.
