Wildebeest at MLP Nov 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 at 8 pm

Wildebeest is an experimental play created by Stanton Dossett III and developed in conjunction with students at Centenary College, according to the Times. Movement direction is by artist/choreographer Dorothinia Kristin Hanna. Set and light design is by Don Hooper, chair of the Theatre and Dance Department at Centenary. Stage manager is Angie Rosenkrans.

Theatre major cast members include Tim Broderick Jr. of Bossier City, La., as the father; Jenni Loer of San Antonio, Texas, as the mother; and Nathan Wasson of Marshall, Texas, as the guest. Other Centenary students include Mindy Diez of Gonzales, La., as the daughter and Allan Jogiel of Dallas, Texas, as the son.

Wildebeest will be performed at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse Nov 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12 at 8 pm. There is a 2 pm show on Nov 6.

Dossett is a musician (his acclaimed blues trio is called JrIII) and writer. Among his considerable performances in this area were dramatic monologues staged with artist Bruce Allen during the Neon Saturday Night series.

In one performance he spoke from atop a building while walking on a treadmill dressed in his trademark black suit. In another exhibit he spoke from atop a perch - a bicycle, I believe - which was cantilevered into the branches of a tree in the Texas St library plaza.
