The UVM Department of Theatre opens its 2010-2011 Season with the award
winning comedy CLOUD 9 by British playwright Caryl Churchill running
September 30 – October 10 at the Royall Tyler Theatre.
CLOUD 9 wraps gender-bending characters and outrageous portrayals of
sexuality into thought-provoking satire. Political and sexual oppression
are explored in a time-twisted structure from Victorian Africa to modern
Britain exploding with brilliant wittiness to stretch your imagination.

Directed by Sarah Carleton (Compleat Female Stage Beauty, Eurydice, You
Can’t Take it With You), the cast is comprised of students from the UVM
Department of Theatre including; Alex Koch, Tommy Grassey, Chad Bigelow,
Hannah Brown, Rose McDonnell, Melody Martin, Andrea Underhill and Oliver
Solomon. Scenic Design is by Jeff Modereger, Costume Design by Martin

Design by Joel Abbott.
