| THE SEAGULL BY ANTON CHEKHOV |

THE SEAGULL
by Anton Chekhov
Translated by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Walt Jones
The first of what are generally considered to be Chekhov's four major plays, The Seagull is about a very human tendency to reject love that is freely given and seek love where it is withheld.
Director and Colorado State Theatre program director Walt Jones describes the play as "a funny, but moving experience. Everyone is in love with the wrong person, the person they can't have. Everyone is desperate, but, in their desperation, hilarious."

| MEET SPECIAL GUEST MARY WOHL HAAN |
Mary Wohl Haan, the artistic director and choreographer of Boulder's HAAN Dances, conducted a guest residency at CSU earlier this month and students will perform Haan's dance High Tide in the upcoming Spring Dance Concert.
The piece expresses the strong energy found in the rhapsodic ebb and flow movement found in bodies of water. Haan says, "So much like 'our bodies' of water, the piece has a sense of rushing as dancers swim through the space/life, ever yearning."
