SAN LUIS OBISPO - Cal Poly's Theatre and Dance Department will stage Edward Albee's critically acclaimed play "The American Dream" at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 2-4 in the Blackbox Theatre on campus. "Albee reveals the bizarre underbelly of a middle-class family in pursuit of an absurd paradigm in 'The American Dream,'" said Cal Poly theater student Evan Robert Pohl. "Mommy and Daddy, a confused couple living in a sexless marriage, discuss the decline of satisfaction in society as they prepare to eject Grandma from their crowded East Coast apartment and into a life of soft foods and bed pans. As Grandma reluctantly wraps her belongings, including a broken television and a blind Pekinese, visitors penetrate Mommy and Daddy's cushy abode to reveal the shocking falsehood embezzling America's sanity." The New York Post said "The American Dream" was "packed with untamed imagination, wild humor ..." The New Yorker said, "This is a play for the resilient young and the wise old." Tickets are $7 for the public and $6 for students. They will go on sale one hour before curtain time outside of Room 212 in the Davidson Music Center. Seating is limited. For reservations, call 801-4561. For more information, contact Theatre and Dance Professor Pamela
