The Festival will be staged in the Center's new Terrace Theatre April 16 through May 6. UMBC's performance will be Wednesday, April 18, and Thursday, April 19 at 7: 45 p.m. "Many people at the regional festival were very interested in our production pro­ cess," Mehta said. "The production is a really collaborative enterprise between students and faculty." , In preparation for the plays, the entire production team spent a semester reading and researching all of Beckett's published dramatic work, surveying the major criticism, and viewing numerous videotapes and films, making possible "a very sophisticated level of research." The students interviewed Beckett scholars, examined documentation on previous productions, attended the recent Beckett Festival in New York, consulted A scene from 'Act Without Words,' one of the award-winning Beckett plays manuscript material there for guidance on interpretation, wrote papers, and, follow­ ing extensive discussion, determined ap­ proach and point of view.
