Subject: Students on Stage from UA performing 'Wild Party'
Wild Party
By: Andrew Lippa
Adapted from Joseph Moncure March’s book-length poem written in & about
the Roaring Twenties.
Students On Stage is a student led organization whose mission is to provide theatre opportunities
to all University of Arizona students and is proud to present “Wild Party.”
Featuring a live
9-piece band
Wild Party tells the story of 1 wild evening in Manhatten!
Despite or perhaps due to the poem being banned in 1928, the book was a
huge success!
“Queenie was a blonde and her age stood still,
And she danced twice a day in vaudeville.
Grey eyes.
Lips like coals aglow.
Her face was a tinted mask of snow.”
The poem tells a story of show people Queenie and her lover Burrs, who live in
a manner considered edgy and decadent at the time. We are welcomed into
one of their parties, complete with illegal bathtub gin and the couple's colorful,
eccentric and egocentric friends, but the party does not unfold without more
tumultuous goings-on than planned.
