Nebraska Repertory Theater
opens with 'Sherlock Holmes'
Sherlock Holmes" opens the Nebraska Repertory
Theatre's summer season on June 23 in Howell
Theatre.
Directed by Rex McGraw, chairman of the UN-L
theatre department, "Sherlock Holmes" continues
through August 17 in repertory with "Habeas
Corpus ", "Dames at Sea" and "Let's Get a
Divorce."
Arthur Conan Doyle's celebrated detective,
Sherlock Holmes, matches wits with the wicked
"Napolean of crime" Professor Moriarty as Dr.
Watson faithfully follows Holmes through the London
fog. "Sherlock Holmes" offers a nostalgic glimpse of
another place and another era.
"Habeas Corpus", premiering June 30 at the
Studio Theatre, is directed by UN-L faculty member
William Morgan.
A raucous, ribald farce, "Habeas Corpus", by Alan
Bennett is concerned with female bodies and the
pursuit of them.
A 53-year-old physician who tries to seduce a
voung, nubile girl and a falsie salesman dedicated to
insuring a good fit are two of the several ridiculous
situations the characters of "Habeas Corpus" are
driven into by their all too human hang-ups.
"Dames at Sea", a musical by George Haimsohn,
Robin Miller and Jim Wise opens July 7 and is also
directed by McGraw.
"Dames at Sea" spoofs with a tender touch the
lavish musical spectacles that delighted the country in
the 1930's.
Opening July 28 is "Let's Get a Divorce", directed
by Dick Nichols, also of the UN-L theatre department.
The play, by Victorien Sardau and Emile de Najoc,
is a sprightly Parisian comedy that illustrates what
lively games husbands, wives and lovers play on each
other.
"The Wind-Up War", a children's musical by UN-L
Graduate student Doug Anderson, is being performed
by Nebraska Repertory Theatre actors and will be
available for performances in and around Lincoln from
July 23 through August 19.
Tickets and information can be obtained from
Temple Theatre ticket office at 12th- and R Sts.
