Greensburg, PA – Seton Hill University Theatre will present "No. 11 (Blue and White)," opening Friday, November 12, 2004.

"Did you know him?" It's the first question they always ask Alex when they find out where she went to school. Indeed, Alex was best of friends with Reid, a prep star athlete with his game plan set for success. She was his loyal and trusted partner in the complicated labyrinth of politics and privilege in their affluent high school. And when the accusations begin to fly, Alex defends Reid with tragic blindness to the bitter end. First presented in March 2000 at the Humana Festival of New American Plays, Alexandra Cunningham's examination of our social pecking order and the corresponding treatment of victims and accusers is "streamlined and stylized...marches inexorably from knowing innocence to bewildered devastation." (City Search, NY) Did she know him? She thought she did. Realistic situations and language; for mature audiences.
