ACTRESS,
PLAYWRIGHT KAREN ETEROVICH TO PERFORM HER WORK AT SRU OCT.
27
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Karen Eterovich, actress
and author of “Love Arm’d: Aphra Behn and Her
Pen,” will perform her play at 8 p.m. Oct. 27, in Slippery
Rock University’s Sheehy Auditorium located in the Maltby
Center.
The
free performance is open to the public.
This
year is the 10th anniversary of Eterovich’s play,
heralded by an array of events highlighting the unique work and
literary contributions of Aphra Behn, a woman whose plays are
known for their quick wit and societal parodies. Behn is also
considered by some as the first woman to make a living from her
writing as part of a career peppered by stints in debtor’s
prison and work as a spy in service to Charles
II.
Eterovich
has performed “Love Arm’d” on stages throughout
the U.S. States and Europe, including engagements at the Edinburgh
Festival Fringe. The play has also become a popular
educational vehicle for college-level theater students, keeping
Eterovich in demand as both a lecturer and performer. This
season she has performed at Bergen Community College, Denver
University and Oakland University, in addition to heading a
“Women in Theatre” workshop and directing a performance
of “She Stoops to Conquer.”
Eterovich
created “Love Arm’d” after performing in a play
by Behn and finding herself fascinated by the
writer.
