Medallion Ceremony
Distinguished Professor of English Carol Chapelle is the first holder of the department's Angela B. Pavitt Professorship In English. She will be recognized at this ceremony and a reception to follow. RSVP requested.
Performance: Two Rooms
The two rooms of the title are a windowless cubicle in Beirut where an American hostage is being held by Arab terrorists and a room in his home in the United States, which his wife has stripped of furniture so that symbolically she can share his ordeal. The wife is goaded by unforeseen developments to speak out against government policy and, in so doing, triggers the tragic series of events that brings the play to its startling conclusion.
