chiatrist is hired to determine if
Agnes is insane. The meat of
the plot centers on the ideologi
cal clashes between the science
reliant psychiatrist and the
Mother Superior, who claims
the child was immaculately con
ceived.
However, if a science versus
religion showdown doesn’t
sound appealing, University
Theatre also will be performing
"Real Women Have Curves”
from Jan. 24 to Feb. 2.
Made famous by the movie
starring “Ugly Betty’s” America
Ferrera, this coming-of-age
story about balancing one’s cul
ture with one’s aspirations looks
to be self-empowering, self
affirming and other “self-pre
ceded adjectives.
VARIETY
Looking for a little Broadway
action? The Classic Center will
be the venue of choice for a cer
tain redheaded orphan girl and
a pair of crooked producers.
On Jan. 22, the musical
“Annie” will be performed as
part of the center’s Broadway
Series.
This classic tale of a hopeful
little girl stuck in a gloomy
world has become part of the
musical canon. With iconic
songs such as "Tomorrow” and
"It’s a Hard-Knock Life,”
“Annie" surely will win anyone’s
heart, especially a certain
orphan-adopting billionaire’s.
Also part of the Broadway
Series, “The Producers” will be
gallivanting onto the Classic
Center stage on Feb. 5.
In this Tony Award-winning
comedy-musical, two sham pro
ducers plot to make a quick
buck by putting on the worst
Broadway show in history. The
script they pick: “Springtime for
Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf
and Eva in Berchtesgaden.”
Hilarity ensues.
For those looking for some
thing a little meatier and a little
deeper, University Theatre can
appease those canine appetites
with "Topdog/Underdog"
through Feb. 8-9.
Written by Suzan-Lori Parks,
the play traces the story of two
black brothers trying to rise out
of poverty while in constant
competition with each other.
The Broadway version starred
Don Cheadle and Mos Def.
