Get A Charge Out Of Life – Performance Electrifies Cal State East Bay
Fall 2011
THE LARAMIE PROJECT
By Moises Kaufman & Tectonic Theater
Directed by A. Fajilan
In 1998 the Tectonic Theatre traveled from New York to learn about the savage beating of a gay, University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard. In an effort to understand and bring healing to the overwhelmed community, they interviewed residents, law officers, officials, religious leaders, university members, students, friends, families, pro & anti-gay activists, and the national media. A fascinating compilation of voices deeply affected by the brutal beating and death, the show provides a stark testimony to our nation’s moral conscience.

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE
Book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro
Music by Jimmy Roberts
Directed by Darryl V. Jones
Musical Direction by Sierra Dee
This funny musical revue includes songs and vignettes about the modern world of romance. This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as 'the relationship.' Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious and touching revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?.”

REFRACTIONS
CSUEB Dance Ensembles
Refractions will feature new works by CSUEB Dance faculty Nina Haft and Eric Kupers, both in collaboration with CSUEB lighting designer Richard Olmsted. These works are created with a diverse group of students and community members. They explore the relationships between light and movement—how shadow, diffusion, scattering, projection, mood, refractions, and more can work together to communicate meaning.
