'Waiting for Godot' at Yulman Theater

Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," a play in which the characters lose grasp of history, struggle to prove their own existence, and spend their time waiting for something or someone that never comes, runs through Sunday in Yulman Theater.

It is directed by Prof. William Finlay.

The production – with only five actors -- will be staged in the more intimate Actor's Studio (or Second Stage) at the north end of the Yulman Theater. "The play seemed to dictate a more intimate performance space," Finlay explained. "This is a good challenge for our actors and a chance for our students to see what is considered a classic, an extremely important work in theater," Finlay said.

Actors are Benjamin Infantino (Estragon), Marty Albert (Vladimir), Aneesah Dambreville (Pozzo), Fred Countz (Lucky) and Cooper Braun-Enos (boy).

Set design is by Charles Steckler, lighting by John Miller, and costumes by Lloyd Waiwaiole.

Performances are through 9 at 8 p.m., and Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. All performances are in the Actors Studio (Second Stage) at the north end of Yulman Theater. Tickets are $5 for members of the Union community and seniors, $7 for the public. For information call the Yulman box office at (518) 388-6545.
