Theatre professor Kitty Dubin's "The Blank Page" premieres

Local theatre presents world premiere of OU professor's play

The Jewish Ensemble Theatre will present the world premiere of "The Blank Page," by Oakland University Professor Kitty Dubin, October 13-November 8.

Once again, Dubin, who is JET's playwright-in-residence, explores the choices we make in creating our own stories with her trademark wit, compassion, and razor sharp dialogue. In "The Blank Page," we meet a creative writing professor mired in self-doubt while work, family and a gifted new student threaten to drag her under. As the deadline looms for her second novel, conflicts erupt with her husband, her best friend and her oh-so-talented student.

The director for "The Blank Page" is Gillian Eaton. Cast members are Sarab Kamoo, John Lepard, Naz Edwards and Leslie Ann Handelman

JET performs in the Aaron DeRoy Theatre, 6600 West Maple Road in West Bloomfield (corner of Maple and Drake).  Tickets range from $28 to $36 with discounts for seniors and students.  There is ample free parking and handicap accessibility.
