Hughie/Next!

THIS WEEKEND! : Friday @1159pm, Saturday @ 230pm

words from our student directors:
Eugene O'Neill's "Hughie" is a one-act play written in 1942, and takes place at the lobby of a small hotel on a West Side street in midtown New York during the summer of 1928. Our main protagonist is described by O'Neill only as a "story teller", but as he attempts to enthrall the new night clerk who works at the desk in nostalgia of the relationship he had with the clerk's predecessor, we begin to explore his steadfast effort to live in blissful disreality, and the lies we tell ourselves to make life bearable.

Marion Cheever is far from being war material. But, at the height of the Vietnam War, the 40 year old Marion is called in by the United States government to see if he has what it takes to be soldier and fight for his country. Confused and angered by his draft notice, be botches the examination and proceeds to messing with his examiner in any way possible, in hopes it gets him out of the war effort. As this examination continues, however, Marion begins to come to some very real conclusions about his life until now and whether he has been acceptable to live it.
