Join the Hollanders and their misadventures through hostile Soviet territory as their family vacation turns into a flight for their lives from Russian Secret Police.Will they be safely delivered into US hands by Axel Magee, the fumbling son of an American diplomat?

The Donn B. Murphy One-Acts Festival
How to Succeed with Dolls
By Tim Lyons (COL ’15)
Directed by Caleb Lewis (COL ’16)
Produced by El Roberts (COL ’14)
Named in honor of one of Mask & Bauble’s greatest leaders who helped shape student theater at Georgetown University, the Donn B. Murphy One-Acts Festival showcases student-written works and allows student writers, directors, actors and producers to create and develop a new show. This year, the festival features the musical “How to Succeed With Dolls,” which follows Timothy, a young Wall Street actuary, as he falls head over heels in love with Margaret, a woman he has only just seen. With the help of his friendly neighborhood bartender, he seeks to win her heart. But when two Wall Street stock players get involved by betting on the outcome, things go awry. When one introduces Timothy to a mysterious woman, is all hope lost for gaining his true love?
The festival also features scenes from various plays by Shakespeare.

Proof
Written by David Auburn
Directed by Emma Rice (NHS ’15)
Produced by Allie Van Dine (SFS ’14)
Catherine has cared for her aging father Robert, who was a brilliant math professor at the University of Chicago, until his recent death. Now Hal, a young math professor also at the university, seeks to explore the many notebooks that Catherine’s father left behind that may contain groundbreaking mathematic proofs. Moving back and forth in time — from before Robert’s death to afterwards when Catherine’s sister Claire flies in from New York for the funeral — the play explores mental illness, familial relationships and strains, and how intellect, academia, and career exist alongside and with the other parts of ourselves.
