The UNC College of Performing Arts will present a multifarious array of theatrical performances during the fall of 2012 season. The performing arts series is scheduled to perform ?The Waiting Room? by Lisa Loomer, ?Parade? by Alfred Uhry and ?Queen Lear? adapted by David Grapes and Robert Neblett.
?
With two plays and a musical touching on subjects from gender-bending to religious intolerance, the thick curtains of Norton and Langworthy Theatre will rise and relinquish drama, comedy and the traditional Shakespearean tragedy with the inimitable directing touch of the University of Northern Colorado theater?s nationally recognized faculty.?
?
Appropriately taking place in a hospital, ?The Waiting Room? examines the ethics of medicine, beauty and perfection. Directed by Andrea Moon, ?The Waiting Room? will show Oct. 4-6 and 9-13 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 7 and 14 at 2 p.m. Rated PG-13, the comedy deals with issues of forgiveness, marriage and mating in the interactions between three different women from three different centuries.
?
From deteriorating silicone breasts, bound feet and hysteria, each woman must face a diagnosis that is riddled with the wisdom of male doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. A play laden with dark humor that spans across centuries of illness, ?The Waiting Room? promises to touch on the symptomatic qualities of the human condition.

Based on the 1913 hanging of Leo Frank, ?Parade? is a musical journey into Georgia that uses testimony and zeal to brand a man as guilty. With original music by Jason Robert Brown, the UNC version will be directed by Matthew Herrick and choreographed by Rachel Richards. With musical direction by Richard Stone, the musical is set for the month of November. ?Parade? will show Nov. 1-3, 6-10 at 7:30 p.m. with the performances on Nov. 3, 4, 10 and 11 at 2 p.m. Winner of the 2000 Tony Award for Best Book and Best Score, ?Parade,? looks at the elements of conscience and strength that showcase the innovative resonance of honesty and love.
?
A familiar tragedy with a post-modern twist, UNC?s versions of ?King Lear? will grace the stage with a crown made for a queen. Directed by Grapes, ?Queen Lear? morphs William Shakespeare?s unbridled tale into a violent battle for power despite the lives of family and kin. The series is set to show on Nov. 29-30 and Dec. 1 at 7:30 pm and on Dec. 2 at 2 pm. Complete with a Celtic-inspired score, the play will feature guest artist Lucy Peacock. ?A magical betrayal cloaked by madness, love and war, ?Queen Lear? will create a theatrical beauty.?
