MOUNT VERNON — Cornell College will stage “Trust,” a contemporary comic drama by Steven Dietz about relationships set against the backdrop of the rock music scene, Dec. 11-14. Performances are at 8 p.m. in the Plumb-Fleming Studio Theatre of Armstrong Hall.
Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and youth. Admission is free to Cornell students, faculty, staff and emeriti faculty. To reserve tickets, contact the Cornell box office, (319) 895-4293. Seating is limited.
As the six characters’ lives become ever more intertwined, the play offers insights about desire and betrayal, longing and fidelity. “Trust” is intended for mature audiences and contains adult language and situations and brief partial nudity.
The Cornell production is directed by theater professor Mark Hunter and features lighting design by theater professor Scott Olinger. Scenic design is by senior Mary MacFarlane (Fairfax, Va.) and costume design is by sophomore Shelby Newport (Cedar Rapids). The cast features senior Joseph Curnutte (Mahomet, Ill.), sophomores Sonya Thompson (Orinda, Calif.) and Jackie Johnson (Eden Prairie, Minn.), and first-year students Jessica Dunne (Minneapolis, Minn.), Daniel Kelchen (Long Grove) and Colleen Metzger (Naperville, Ill.).
