Fall Theatre Production: 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck
The University of Dubuque's Department of Fine and Performing Arts will perform Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
In this performance of John Steinbeck's adaptation of his novel Of Mice and Men, two migrant field hands - George, who is average-looking and smart, and Lennie, who has an intellectual disability and is strong - find work on a farm in California during the Great Depression. Their dreams lead to tragedy when Lennie gets too close to the wife of the boss' son.
Of Mice and Men will be directed by Joe Klinebriel, MFA, professor of theatre at UD. Steinbeck's classic tale has always been one that personally captivated Klinebriel, and he's excited about the prospect of sharing the story while at UD.
