Pomona
College Theatre Presents Arcadia by Tom Stoppard
|
 |
Tom Stoppard‘s play, Arcadia, will be performed this
week by the Department of Theatre and Dance at Pomona
College. There will be an open preview at 8 p.m. on
Wednesday evening, October 4th, with subsequent performances
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, Oct. 5th – Oct.
7th at 8 p.m., and matinee performances on Saturday and
Sunday, Oct. 7th and 8 at 2 p.m.
Arcadia is an astonishing journey of a play, combining the
comedy of the moment with the conventions of the English
18th Century drawing-room—and the risks and uncertainties of
literary and scientific discovery with the irreversible
tragedy of fate and chance. Stoppard moves the action
seamlessly from 1809 Derbyshire to the present—exploring the
worlds of English Romanticism, determinism, landscape
architecture, higher mathematics, chaos theories, the
creative individuality of genius and the very nature of
truth and time—all with great perception and wit.
Directed by Art Horowitz (Pomona College professor of
theatre), tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for
students, staff and senior citizens. The theatre box office
is open from 11 a.m. -4 p.m., Monday-Friday. The play will
be held at the Pomona College Seaver Theatre (300 E. Bonita
Way). For further information call (909) 621-8525 or (909)
607-4375.

College, Pitzer College, Scripps College, Harvey Mudd
College, and Claremont McKenna College, it offers

dance, within the context of a rigorous liberal arts
education. In addition to its academic offerings, it
