HPU’s theater program recently
released its schedule for the 2003-2004 school year.
In the fall, HPU will present All My Sons, a play by Arthur
Miller. Written in 1947, it received the Drama Critics Award
for the best new American play of the season. The play is set
in World War II and tells the story of a young soldier who returns
home from the war to discover that his family’s munitions
company has been sending defective products to the military.
The soldier confronts his father over morality and social responsibility |

In March, HPU Theater will present Jacques Brel is Alive and
Well and Living in Paris, a musical by Eric Blau, Mort Shuman,
and Jacques Brel. This presentation features the music of Belgian
songwriter Jacques Brel and tells the stories of people who
are unwilling to abandon the joys of living, as well as the
hope that makes life worthwhile, despite their experiences.
Brel’s legendary romance, humor, and moral conviction
make for an emotional and powerful night of theater.
