Dinner & A Show – Theater: Victims of Duty

The Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department has once again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer a second “Dinner & A Show” promotion:  The Theater of the Absurd comedy, “Victims of Duty.” 

“Nothing ever happens” to Choubert and  his wife Madeleine until an unexpected visit from The Detective implodes their mundane lives in this play.  Dramatist Eugene Ionesco calls it a “pseudo-drama.” At the same time cerebral and non-sensical, this meditation on theater, memory, and duty destabilizes what we expect of theater-going and meaning-making.

Where & When

  • Where: Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center, Blackbox Studio Theater
  • When:  Thursday through Sat, Nov. 2 – 4, 7:30 pm, and
    Sunday, Nov.5: 2:00pm – (ASL*-Interpreted Performance)
    * American Sign Language

Guest directed by Tina Brock.
