UPCOMING ALUMNI EVENTS
Saturday, February 9
Dinner/Theatre: And Neither Have I Wings to Fly
Dinner at 6:30 p.m. in Madame Cadillac Hall. Stage Play at 8:00 p.m. in the Marygrove Theatre
The Marygrove College Alumni Association Program Committee cordially invites you to join us for the UDM production of And Neither Have I Wings to Fly written by Ann Noble Massey and directed by Yolanda Fleischer. The story, set in a town on the east coast of Ireland in the late 1950s, swirls around the Donnelly sisters, the responsible, devoted Eveline and her younger, more glamorous and more selfish 18-year-old sister, Kathleen. The two are mourning the death of their mother after a long illness. In their very different ways, they are trying to break free of their depressed father, Peter. Wings is a fiercely lovely meditation on the high price paid in the quest for personal freedom and the equally high price exacted for remaining true to others. It is as soaring, and as rueful as its richly poetic title. $30 per person which includes dinner and theater ticket. Space is limited and reservations must be received no later than February 1, 2008.
