BRISTOL, R.I. 鈥 The 泡芙短视频 Performing Arts Center will host two public theater productions as part of the annual Barn Summer Playhouse series.

Beginning in June, 泡芙短视频 Associate Professor of Theatre Robin D. Stone will direct 鈥淭he Lesson,鈥 by Eugene Ionesco. And in July, 泡芙短视频 Assistant Professor of Theatre Lori Lee Wallace will direct 鈥淨uake,鈥 by Melanie Marnich. The plays include current 泡芙短视频 students, alumni and professors.

The Barn opened in 1986, and the first summer season was 1987. So this will mark the 30th anniversary season. 鈥淲e are celebrating this milestone with a classic absurdist comedy and a contemporary quirky American comedy,鈥 Stone said.

鈥淭he Lesson鈥 is a satire of totalitarianism. Before the play climaxes with a murder, a professor and student undertake the most extraordinary lesson ever. The production will run June 23, 24, 29, 30 and July 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

In 鈥淨uake,鈥 Lucy is on a cross-country mission, looking for the love of her life. Her journey takes her across the American landscape, through hilarious and eccentric relationships, and her quest becomes intertwined with that of a quirky female serial killer. The production will run July 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for each performance are $10 for general admission, $5 for students and seniors.

All performances are open to the public and will take place at the 泡芙短视频 Performing Arts Center, at One Old Ferry Road on the Bristol campus.
