Video and more: Theatre and Dance to present ‘Uncommon Women and Others’

We’re just over a week away from opening night of Uncommon Women and Others, the first UW-Green Bay Theatre and Dance production of the academic year. As Log Extra readers may recall, this work from playwright Wendy Wasserstein tells the story of five 1972 graduates of Mt. Holyoke College as they reunite for lunch six years after graduation. Their touching, outrageous and idealistic memories of college are portrayed in flashback scenes as the women compare their dreams and expectations with where their choices have actually led them.

The show runs Oct. 16-18 and 22-25 in Jean Weidner Theatre at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.

Check out our video preview, featuring commentary from the play’s actresses and director Laura Riddle, as well as a news release.
