A crowd of 115 people joined the
Alumni Association for its third annual Alumni Night at the Theater April 19,
attending the UNO Theater Department's production of "Arabian Nights."
|
The evening began with a wine and cheese tasting reception at the
W.H. Thompson Alumni Center. Sharon Sobel, chair of the theater department
and "Arabian Nights" set designer spoke to the group, providing insights into
the play and highlights on the upcoming theater season. UNO Chancellor Nancy
Belck welcomed the group, which included State Senators Lowen Kruse, Abbie
Cornett and Gwen Howard.
Alumni Night at the Theater guests attended the performance at the
Del and Lou Ann Weber Fine Arts Building following the reception. UNO's adaptation
of "Arabian Nights" brought the audience "back to modern-day Baghdad, and
distant air-raid sirens warn of the danger threatening the land that produced
the encyclopedia of human experience, imagination, and poetry that is the
'Arabian Nights.'"
