Crimes of The Heart Scheduled For A Slate of Performances At Ramapo College

(Mahwah) -- The theater program of Ramapo College of New Jersey will present Crimes of the Heart, Beth Henley’s “southern” comedy about three eccentric sisters, October 20 – 22 and 26 – 29.  Mary Ellen Allison, an associate professor of theater at the College, will direct the play.

Enter the absurd world of the McGrath sisters, where tragedy befalls these good but wacky people caught up in the disappointment of their personal lives.  Attempted murder, unrequited love and pretense, presented with penetrating humor, energy and merriment, add up to an uproarious evening.

This production showcases the talents of Ramapo College theater program students:

Heather Armhold  Spotswood, NJ
Brad Haarbauer  Mahwah, NJ
Emily Levin Barnegat, NJ
Tim Moran  East Windsor, NJ
Jen Ponton Bloomsbury, NJ
Jessica Ross  Franklinville, NJ
Pamela Ross Flemington, NJ
Elizabeth Shaughnessy Spotswood, NJ
Kendra Thatcher  Lambertville, NJ

Crimes of the Heart won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best New American Play in 1981.          

The production will be performed Thursday through Saturday, October 20 – 22 and Wednesday through Saturday, October 26 – 29 at 8 p.m. in the Adler Theater, located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts on the campus of Ramapo College.  Tickets are $10.  For ticket information, contact 201.684.7844.
