Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story is Albee’s first play. Synopsis: A man sits peacefully reading in the sunlight in Central Park. There enters a second man. He is an unkempt and undisciplined vagrant where the first is neat, ordered, well-to-do and conventional. The vagrant is a soul in torture and rebellion. He longs to communicate so fiercely that he frightens and repels his listener. He is a man drained of all hope who, in his passion for company, seeks to drain his companion. With provocative humor and unrelenting suspense, the young savage slowly, but relentlessly, brings his victim down to his own atavistic level as he relates a story about his visit to the zoo.

The ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ John Waldron Arts Center is located at 122 S. Walnut St. Tickets are $15 for general admission or $5 for students and seniors. To purchase tickets visit . For information about ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ Student Productions visit .
