>> Written by Chris Guyon

>> Written by Eugene Ionesco
>> Directed by Jeff Matthews

>>
>> THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND (Cast: 5m, 3f)
>> Written by Tom Stoppard
>> Directed by Ian Keyworth, Assistant Directed by Bria Schultz
>>
>> Tom Stoppard's "The Real Inspector Hound" follows two critics,

>> mystery: a play within the play. Eventually, the critics become a  
>> part of the puzzle and all the ridiculous pieces fall into place  
>> by the end. Stoppard skillfully weaves the lives and thoughts of  
>> the critics between and into the happenings of the play on stage,  
>> poking fun at both theater and those who watch it, while breaking  
>> the fourth wall at every turn.

>>
>> The RPI Players is a student run community theatre.  While RPI  
>> students are the primary participants in the organization,  
>> auditions and production roles are open to all community members.
