Fall 2009

The Land Beyond the Forest:
Dracula and SWOOP

Two Plays by: Mac Wellman
Directed by Bill Walters
Featuring Tricklock Company, guest artists

UNM’s Department of Theatre and Dance ushers in the haunting season with The Land Beyond the Forest: Dracula and SWOOP, two vampire plays by Mac Wellman. Dracula is a macabre masterpiece, an adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel that veers wildly into new vampire territory. Using Wellman’s wickedly clever language, a nightmarish world of music, madness, blood, and lust is created by Tricklock Company (UNM’s theatre company in residence) and a talented ensemble of UNM students. Dracula is paired with SWOOP, where, seven miles above the streets of Manhattan , vampires circle over the metropolis, seeking prey and reminiscing about their long, long, long past, and all things vampiric. Not for the faint of heart, both plays contain adult language and content. Those who dare are invited to enter The Land Beyond the Forest: Dracula and SWOOP for an theatrical encounter with darkness like you’ve never had before!

RENT

Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
Directed by Kathleen Clawson
Musical direction by Paul Roth
Choreography by Wendy Leverenz-Barker

UNM’s Department of Theatre and Dance proudly presents Jonathan Larson's rock masterpiece, RENT. Loosely based on Puccini’s opera La Bohème, it tells the story of one year – five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes – in the lives of eight friends in New York's East Village, who struggle with committing their lives to art and their hearts to each other while living in the shadow of AIDS. Winner of four Tony awards and the Pulitzer Prize, RENT reinvented musicals when it debuted in 1996. Featuring a brilliant rock score, including the now classic "Seasons of Love", RENT is an emotionally stirring story which celebrates art, friendship and love.
