Alum Chris Payne (MFA Acting 06) is appearing in TheSpyAnts Theatre Company presention of the Los Angeles premiere of Charles L. Mee’s kaleidoscopic play, bobrauschenbergamerica, a wild road trip through the American landscape. Through a collage of people and places, of music and dancing, of love stories and picnics and business schemes and shootings and chicken jokes and golfing, it's a play made as one of America's greatest artists, Robert Rauschenberg, might have conceived it if he had been a playwright instead of a painter.

Druid Ireland; The Walworth Force
Nov 11-15:
At 11 a.m. in a grotty London flat, Dinny and his two adult sons begin their daily routine. Iron the dress. Get the roast chicken. Brush the wigs. Start the show. Then, over the course of two hours, kill off five people, as usual. This tragedy wrapped in farce upends all cozy, homespun Irish-immigrant tales of the old country. Playwright Enda Walsh delves unsparingly into why Dinny left Ireland, why his sons don’t leave him, and the story that has entrapped them all.
