The Robber Bridegroom
October 7–10, 2010
Musical Comedy
This production counts toward Forum requirements.
Adapted from the novella by Eudora Welty
Book and lyrics by: Alfred Uhry
Music by: Robert Waldman
Direction by: Jeff Hendry
Musical Direction by: Timm Adams
Clark Arts Center, Maddox Theatre See the Maddox Seating Chart(.pdf) for this performance.
A rousing, bawdy Southern fairy tale set in eighteenth century Mississippi, The Robber Bridegroom is the story of the courting of Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country, by Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods. The proceedings go awry, thanks to an unconventional case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother intent on Rosamund’s demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have the recipe for a rollicking country romp.

Directed by: Deborah Mogford
Clark Arts Center, Cheek Theatre
General seating
Affecting, funny and perceptive, this play delves into the lives, loves and aspirations of a group of seniors at a prestigious eastern women’s college. "…funny, ironic, and affectionate comedy… Miss Wasserstein is an uncommon young woman if ever there was one.” —The New Yorker. "…the real triumph of Uncommon Women is that you leave the theatre caring deeply about its characters.” —NY Post.
