Collected Stories -BHSU-Spearfish-Location: Woodburn Hall Join the BHSU Theatre students Feb. 25 for the opening performance of Collected Stories by Donald Margulies. The perfomance will begin at 7:30 pm in Woodburn Hall. A respected short-story writer and teacher in her mid-fifties, Ruth Steiner has carved out a comfortable life for herself in a Greenwich Village apartment she has occupied for decades. Lisa Morrison is a callow yet talented 26-year-old graduate student and aspiring writer, a child of suburban privilege, when she meets Ruth and offers to become her assistant. Over six years, in as many scenes, Collected Stories eavesdrops on Ruth and Lisa as their relationship evolves (from mentor/protegee to loving friends to adversaries) and ultimately disintegrates -- touching on issues of age, artistic liscense, and betrayal.
