tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the
other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken

The Dinner Party
Emporia State Summer Theatre presents the 2nd
show of their 62nd season with "The Dinner
Party". Written by Neil Simon, this romantic
comedy involves six people invited to dine at a
fine Parisian restaurant, unaware of who the
other guests will be or why they were invited.
Tossed together in a private dining room, Andre
Bouville (Elliott Brest, Tonganoxie), Yvonne
Fouchet (Fran Opheim, Olathe), Gabrielle
Buonocelli (Paige Lundin, Valley Center),
Mariette Levieux (Lisa Tinker, Derby), Claude
Pichon (Mitchell Hoover, Oxford), and Albert
Donay (Logan Wohlford, Valley Center) all have
a sneaking suspicion that this unorthodox
dinner party will forever change their lives.
Frequently hilarious but also dangerously
serious, "The Dinner Party" is an invitation
you'll be glad to accept.
"The Dinner Party" is under the direction of
Bob Hart. Assisting with the production are
technical director Chris Lohkamp, scenographer
Rick Rassmussen, sound designer Andrew
McCutcheon (Gardner), production stage manager
Dustin Bittel (Ellis), and assistant stage
manager Rachel Muirhead (Hays).
"The Dinner Party" runs June 29th —July 2nd at
7:30 pm. All performances will be in the Karl
C. Bruder Theatre located at 1301 Market
Street. For tickets to this performance, visit
the Memorial Union Ticket Office or call 620-

SYNOPSIS:
His story. His inspiration, His genius. The tapestry of
creativity that characterizes Stephen Sondheim remained
largely undiscussed, especially by the man himself, until the
creation of Sondheim On Sondheim. Ranging from the
beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected two-dozen
songs hang from a framework of in-depth video interviews
delving into Sondheim's personal life and artistic process.
Hailed as a "revelatory revue full of wonderful moments"
and a "funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to musical
theater's greatest living composer and lyricist," Sondheim
On Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter
in his own words... and music. Through the use of exclusive
interview footage, audiences get an inside look at famed
composer Stephen Sondheim's personal life and artistic
process.

himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about
to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their
tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the
other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken

The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a

saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and
ultimately condemned with a host of others.
