THE BUG by Richard Strand, Directed by Julia Traber

"As a mere bug in the system grows into a monster that shatters the bureaucratic facade, the subversive elements of Strand's comedy fall into place...and you may never feel quite the same about your office again" - The San Francisco Examiner

THE BUG by Richard Strand, Directed by Julia Traber

The trouble in corporate paradise begins at Jericho, Inc., with an employee’s simple question, which cannot be answered simply or otherwise.  The ensuing confusion shifts the employee’s hyperactive imagination into comic overdrive and the result is a farce of multi-national proportions.  As this Everyman of the 1980s faces off against a faceless bureaucracy, he discovers a bug in the system that threatens to tumble the pre-fab walls of Jericho, Inc.

 

Julia Traber, Associate Artistic Director of the Classical Theatre Company, will direct.  Ms. Traber has worked as an actor, assistant director, director, and teaching artist for various local and regional professional theatres and educational institutions including: Alley Theatre, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Houston Shakespeare Festival, Children's Theatre Festival, Main Street Youth Theatre, The Texas Repertory Theatre Co., Unhinged Productions, Unity Theatre, and the University of Houston.

 

Performances are Friday March 19 - 20th at 8pm, Sunday March 21st at 2pm; Thursday March 25– 27th at 8pm. Tickets; General Admission, $10, Rice Faculty/Staff/Alumni, $8, Students, $5.  Performances are at Hamman Hall. Tickets are available in advance by calling 713-348-PLAY.
