Daniel Inouye, assistant professor of theatre arts and director of the play, handpicked the three one-acts because he said he enjoys “Horton Foote’s work and his capacity to create nuanced and interesting characters within his plays. The common thread for all three one-acts “is the idea of a dance and what it means to people who are trying to connect with others,” Inouye said. “In essence, that is what all the characters in the plays are striving after, connection and intimacy with other humans. Aunt and uncle try to get girl and boy to connect. Each play looks at this striving—this human connection—that we all have, through a slightly different lens. hilarity ensues,” said Sara Cat Williams, a freshman biology major from Roland, Ark. Set in the 1920s, it’s a touching and funny story of what befalls a fluttery, well-meaning aunt when she tries to arrange a date for her visiting—and uncooperative—niece.
