St. Olaf Theatre to present House Arrest

What does it mean to be American? Inspired by this proverbial question, master playwright and performance artist Anna Deavere Smith challenges preconceptions of theater and national identity in the play House Arrest: A Search for American Character in and Around the White House, Past and Present. This fourth production of St. Olaf's 2007-08 theatrical season takes a provocative look at life in the nation's capital, traveling through time to reveal the evolution of the American character.

Performances will be held March 5-8 at 7:30 p.m. and March 8-9 at 2 p.m. in St. Olaf's Haugen Theatre. For tickets, $8 each, contact the St. Olaf box office at 507-786-8987.
