AFFINITY GROUPS OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE

JOIN FOET FOR SUPPER AT SIX BEFORE "HERE COMES DAD"
DRAMA WRITTEN BY VISITING ISRAELI PLAYWRIGHT

The Friends of Eldred Theater (FOET) - one of four affinity groups that support scholarship and artistic performance in the College - is inviting alums, faculty and friends to a special event in February.

FOET will host a "Supper at Six" on February 11, 2005, before the opening of "Here Comes Dad," a play written and directed by Omri Yavin, a visiting Israeli playwright currently teaching in the department of modern languages and literatures.

"Here Comes Dad," one of four productions in the 2004 Case Eldred Drama Series, is a co-production between modern languages and literatures and the theater arts program in the department of theater and dance. The play, inspired by the Biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac, explores the relationship between father and son in the context of contemporary Israeli society. "Here Comes Dad" will run February 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. and February 13 and 20 at 2:30 p.m. in the Eldred Theater at Case.

FOET sponsors a "Supper at Six" on the opening night of every Eldred Theater performance. These events are attended by the director and design staff of each production, as well as by members of FOET. Seating is limited, so make your reservations early. In addition to "Supper at Six" and other events, FOET provides financial support for guest artists and student training.

"The Friends of Eldred Theater are passionate about the contributions of the arts and are here to help ensure the future of the American theater," said Natalie Epstein, Arts and Sciences alumna and FOET president.

The other College affinity groups are Friends of Dance, Friends of Music, and the History Associates.
