TOMORROW -- Visiting Artist: Cliff Odle, director of "Topdog/Underdog"

Hello all --

Cliff Odle-- actor, director, playwright -- will be joining us for tomorrow's Music Theatre Company meeting.

Cliff is presently in town to direct the Gamm's production of "Topdog/Underdog" by Susan-Lori Parks.  ("Topdog/Underdog" concerns Lincoln and Booth, two African-American brothers locked in conflict and navigating their way through racism and poverty, as they deal with their own past. For more information on this play, see this wiki link. You can read an interview with Cliff about the play and this production here.)

Originally from New Jersey, Cliff has taught and performed all over New England and is currently part of the faculty at University of North Carolina School for the Arts. He is in town until next week and has generously agreed to stop by to talk with us about his professional path. (His biography at UNCSA is here.)

He will be at Music Theatre Company meeting at 9am in the BABS/Little Theater space.

ALL THEATRE MAJORS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
