2-18-98
University Park, Pa. -- A one-person play, "Faces of America: A 'Generation X' Look at Multiculturalism," will be performed at Schwab Auditorium on the University Park campus on Saturday, Feb. 28. The 3 p.m. show, starring Fran de Leon, addresses questions of multiculturalism in today's society through the eyes of Generation X.

The play presents eight characters, all based on true stories researched through workshops and interviews with high school and college-age youth. De Leon has worked with several noted theatre companies and as a solo performer has toured extensively throughout the United States with "Playfair," a specially designed interactive student program.

First produced at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in California in March 1995, "Faces of America" is directed by Colin Cox, artistic director and founder of Will & Co., a Los Angeles-based theatre company dedicated to arts in education and multicultural work in classic and contemporary pieces.

Admission is free. For additional information, call the Paul Robeson Cultural Center at (814) 865-3776.
