For the City-Times

Central Wisconsin Area Community Theater (cwACT) proudly presents the classic Broadway hit, “You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running”.

This Tony Award winning show was written by Robert Anderson and includes four one-act plays. “The Shock of Recognition” analyzes the necessity of a nude scene on stage; “The Footsteps of Doves” follows a couple shopping for a new bed after 25 years of marriage; “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” captures parents discussing the sex education of their almost adult children; and “I’m Herbert” features two elderly people sitting on a porch discussing their previous marriages and flings, but both are hazy on the details.
 
This production features four first-time cwACT directors; Jon Lowery, Joe Battaglia, Maxine Hogan and Elizabeth Kawleski. Each act also features its own cast. Performances will take place at the Theater @1800, 1800 North Point Drive, Stevens Point. Performance times are 7:30 p.m., May 16 and 17, and 2:00 p.m. on May 18. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children under 12. Tickets are available at the UWSP Box Office in the Dreyfus University Center or in the theater upper lobby one hour prior to each performance.
