Cost: $2* The State Theatre 130 West College Ave. State College, PA 814-272-0606 http://www.thestatetheatre.org/Events Directed by Elaine Meder-Wilgus This is the second installment of The Next Stage’s new series, “Making Theatre.” This staged reading of two one-act plays will be held in the Studio in The State Theatre. This time we are looking at the re-making of theatre that began in earnest in the 1950s. Pinter’s early work was considered “experimental”, and although he eventually achieved world status, the Nobel Prize, and productions on Broadway, his work never lost its edge or its commitment to push the boundaries of theatre. From the Nobel Prize citation by the Swedish Academy, 2005: "Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue where people are at the mercy of each other and pretense crumbles."
