“The House of Bernarda Alba" will be put on by a spectacular cast of UMass students on our very own campus. The show was written by Federico Garcia Lorca and is sure to be a crowd pleaser. This play is a more dark production when compared to the Musical that the drama department is also producing. It is the tale of a woman and her daughters as they go through a period of mourning after the demise of her second husband. It is the story of a young girl who wants to defy her mothers’ will. This play was written by a famous traditional Spanish playwright, so it will spark the interest of many classical play lovers.

Rehearsals have been occurring every every week night since September 21^st for the cast, and will continue until the show dates on Oct. 28, 29, 30 and Nov. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m., Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 at 2 p.m.
