Baldwin Players
Production NOVEMBER 12 – 14 AT ABAC
TIFTON—The
Baldwin Players at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will perform “Two
Rooms” on Nov. 12 – 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Conger Hall, Room 319 on the ABAC
campus. Admission is free to all ABAC faculty, staff, and students with
ABAC I.D. The cost is $5 per person for
the general public.
The
play is directed by Dr. John Galyean.
Parents should be advised that “Two Rooms” contains mature themes and
strong, potentially objectionable language.
The
cast will include Katie Jones, an agriculture education major from Dallas;
Michelle North, an early childhood education major from Tifton, Dr. Brian Ray,
assistant professor in the School of Liberal Arts; and Tom Mark, an educator in
the Tift County School System.
The
premise of the play involves a man who is held hostage in the Middle East by
terrorists. His wife waits traumatized at home. As homage to her husband, she
creates a room in their house that she imagines being like the room in which
the terrorists are holding him.
The
wife is visited several times by an investigative reporter and a State
Department emissary. They attempt to
comfort her, influence her thoughts and feelings, and prepare her for best-case
and worst-case scenarios. Ultimately,
she deals with her own feelings about the value of hope, dedication, loss, and
panic as well as her opinions of the media in America and U.S. diplomatic
policies.
Galyean
said “Two Rooms” is an intense investigation into the essence of both faith and
cruelty. It was written 13 years before
9/11. The play serves as a powerful reminder
of the past and a warning of things to come.
