EVENT: ‘Fefu And Her Friends’

fefu

Remember when we told you that the Montclair Women’s Club was getting all theatrical? The curtain rises later this month on “Fefu And Her Friends,” an imaginative play by Cuban-American playwright Maria Irene Fornes, presented by students from the B.A. Theatre Studies Program at Montclair State University.

First produced in 1977, “Fefu And Her Friends” follows a thick-as-thieves group of 1930s women as they spend an eventful day at Fefu’s country house. The play moves the action, and the audience, from room to room in Fefu’s home — which in this case will be different locations in our Union Street clubhouse. Under the direction of assistant professor of theatre and dance Jessica Brater, MSU students have worked for a semester to research and rehearse this lively example of “site-specific” theater.

“Fefu And Her Friends” will be performed at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 28 and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 at the Montclair Women’s Club, 82 Union Street, Montclair. Suggested donation: $10.  Here’s a press release with details about the production.

Hope to see you there!
