The 2011-12 drama series at Case Western Reserve University continues with Top Girls by Caryl Churchill. Evening performances continue this week at Eldred Theater: Feb. 23, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m., with a Sunday matinee Feb. 26 at 2:30 p.m.
Set in “Thatcherite Britain,” this play tells the story of Marlene, a strong, successful career woman who finds herself doubting her past choices. Churchill’s groundbreaking play explores the struggle women have endured since entering the industrial age workforce: balancing career and family.
The eight-member undergraduate ensemble cast is directed by Catherine Albers, professor in the Department of Theater at Case Western Reserve. The design team for the production includes scenic design by Jill Davis, assistant professor of theater; lighting design by Joseph Burke from Joe Burke Designs; costume design by Angelina Herin, assistant professor of theater; and sound design by Jason Kuster, an undergraduate theater major.
General admission is $10, with discounted prices of $7 for adults over age 60 and Case Western Reserve University personnel, and $5 for students. For ticket reservations or information, call the box office for the Department of Theater at 216.368.6262.
