'Come Back, Little Sheba' Opens at UNLV Feb.8

Nevada Conservatory Theatre's production of William Inge's Come Back, Little Sheba opens February 8 in the Judy Bayley Theatre at UNLV. The play originally opened on Broadway in 1950.

"Doc and Lola Delaney, struggling through a stale marriage of 25 years, find their uneasy relationship threatened when a young art student rents a room in their home. The play was considered controversial in its day because it focused on subjects that were not discussed in public in the 50s such as sexuality, pregnancy out of wedlock, and alcoholism," explain press notes.

Susan Denaker plays the role of Lola. Michael Tylo, artist-in-residence at UNLV, plays Doc. Come Back, Little Sheba is directed by College of Fine Arts Dean Jeffrey Koep and also features Phil Hubbard, along with Savannah Smith-Thomas, Douglas Milliron, Val Kolar, Katie Mazzola, LeBrandon Shead, Robert Burgess, Rob Batusch, Kyle Van Son and Dean Gronemeier.

Lighting is by Brackley Frayer, with costumes by Jessica Culpepper. Guest artist Richard Isackes designs the set.

Performances are February 8, 9, 14, 15 & 16, 2008 at 8PM with matinees February 10 & 17 at 2PM.
