No Place to Be Somebody. Pulitzer prize-winning play by Charles Gordone about blacks in Harlem who fall prey to the "Charlie fever" (reverse racism). Might be worth checking into, since it was so well-received last week that it was held-over an extra week. With the Harvard-Radcliffe Black C.A.S.T., directed by Karl Bostic. At the Loeb Ex, November 6-8. Performances Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 6 and 9 p.m. Tickets available at the box office free the day preceding each performance.
Moonchildren. The Dunster House Drama Society's production of Michael Weller's play about five men and three women sharing a student apartment in the 60s. If it's done well, it's a very engaging show. Directed by Sam Guckenheimer. In the Dunster House Dining Hall, November 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 at 8:30 p.m.
The Mousetrap. A pleasant enough production of an Agatha Christie murder mystery about eight people snow-bound in a manor house. The play, which has been running continuously in London for 23 years or so, is hardly weighty intellectual fare. The Leverett House Arts Society production, however, boasts a fine cast, directed with a comic touch by Evangeline Morphos, who did Arms and the Man at the Loeb last spring. Performances in the Leverett House Old Library, November 5-8 at 8 p.m.
