Nobel Prize winning playwright Harold Pinter is known for his plays about the divided self, and last weekend the University of La Verne Theatre Arts Department brilliantly highlighted six of his plays in the “Echoes of a Master” one act festival at the Cabaret Theater.
“Mr. Universe,” an awe-inspiring play performed by Jonathan Serret and Anthony Guerrero for their senior theses, was a thought provoking study of life and its many complications.
Variety proved to be the overall theme at the 2005 University of La Verne Directing Studio One Act Festival. Student and faculty directors, designers and actors participated in the plays, which ranged from physical comedy to intense drama, as well as everything in between.
The directing classes showcased their talents by hosting a five-day mini festival from March 6 through March 10 in both the Dailey and Cabaret theatres. These plays covered a variety of subjects from comedy to more serious matters.
