Dudley House is excited to sponsor a day trip to New Haven, Connecticut on Saturday, November 6th to see the Yale Repertory Theatre's current production of Albee's *A Delicate Balance.* This play garnered Albee his first of three Pulitzer Prizes in 1966, and the cast includes Tony Award nominee Kathleen Chalfant and Tony award winner Edward Herrmann as Agnes and Tobias (see synopsis here<http://www.yalerep.org/on_stage/2010-11/balance.html>) . There will be a talk-back with the cast after the show. We will be leaving from at Dudley House at at 9 am sharp to have time to visit historic downtown New Haven and the Yale University Art Museum before the show, which is at 2 pm. Tickets are $11. Dudley House is generously subsidizing a Zipcar for us, but we will have to cover gas/parking costs (around $9/person). Please email Cynthia Browne at cbrowne82 (at) gmail.com for more information (or for reviews/biographical information on Albee) Hope to see you there!
