The FIU Theatre Department kicks off their fall season with a production of “The Flea in Her Ear,” a well-known twentieth century “bedroom farce.”
According to Director Phillip Church, it is a fun loving play that centers around wives who are trying to catch their mischievous husbands red-handed with the story taking them through the many twists and turns farces are generally known for.
“The Flea in Her Ear” has a reputation in the theatre world for being “wickedly funny and fast paced,” filled with well-timed jokes and clever improvisational acting.
Aside from the play’s reputation, the theatre students have been working hard for the past seven weeks with a lot to show for it according to Church.
“It’s hugely challenging for the students [who strive] for realism and naturalism in their training,” Church said.
The student actors have been hard at work in rehearsals since the week before school started.
“It shows through in their acting… The audience will sense the actors having so much fun onstage, which will prove to be an excellent start to the whole year.”
From cleverly thought out student-designed sets and fully corseted period-piece costumes to a fun French theme night (Friday, Oct. 2), FIU Theatre’s rendition of “The Flea in Her Ear” promises to be a wildly fun time for anyone in attendance.
“The Flea in Her Ear” can be seen at the Herbert and Nicole Wertheim Performing Arts Center on Sept. 25, 26, 30 and Oct. 1, 2, 3 at 8:00 p.m. and Sept. 27 and Oct. 4 at 2:00 p.m.
