Gone the Rainbow, Return the Dove is currently running at Creighton Performing Arts until 2/12/2012. Directed by Michael McCandless
Gone the Rainbow, Return the Dove, an original play by Theatre faculty member, Michael McCandless, will present its collegiate premiere at Creighton, February 8-11, 2012, 7:30pm, and February 12, 2012, 2pm, in the Studio Theatre of the Lied Education Center for the Arts, 24th and Cass Streets. Tuesday, February 7 will be a TAG Night Out. Gone the Rainbow, Return the Dove presents Americans at war from a uniquely personal perspective. The title is derived from an 18th century Irish song about a woman who laments her lover going off to war, and her fears of never seeing him again. Based on original letters and diaries written to and from battle zones, the play dramatizes the lives of individuals from the American Revolution to present-day Afghanistan. The scenes are interwoven with tragic, poignant, intimate, and humorous portrayals of ordinary people caught up in armed human conflict. The letters, some authentic, some invented, are fragments of lives, of specific time. Interspersed throughout each era are dances and songs - a musical “Greek chorus” of sorts – songs, which have become part of our association with a particular era and wartime life. The purpose of the play is to present war, not on a grand, historical scale, but from the intimate reflections of those entangled in the web of armed tragedy. The play honors the resiliency of the individual. It is neither an angry anti-war protest, nor does it present a message thick with blind patriotism. With a cast of 16 college actors, the play covers 235 years of wartime America, with over 70 roles, and over 100 costume pieces. The cast includes the following Creighton Students: Kathleen Franco Michael Conroy Shannon Lampkin Austin Spillane Elizabeth Dagle Daniel Christensen Emma Rasmussen Josh Allen Mary Kate Lentino Matt Lincoln Elizabeth Mark Matthew Price Alli Derr Justin Edmonds Brynn Martin Abdullah Norain Written and directed: Michael McCandless Scene Design: Jake McCoy Costume Design: Lindsay Pape Lighting Design: Bill Van Deest Ticket prices: $10, general audience; $8, senior citizens; $5, students. Reservations: (402) 280-1448 or www.boxoffice.creighton.edu **** Please note: there is a brief scene in this play which contains language that may not be suitable for all audiences.
