William Paterson University Theatre to Present “Mauritius” from October 20 to 25 Mauritius, a play by Theresa Rebeck, will be performed at William Paterson University in Wayne from October 20 to 25 in the Hunziker Black Box Theatre on campus. Mauritius is a drama about two estranged half-sisters. After their mother’s death, the sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister attempts to cash in on the windfall; the other sister resists for sentimental reasons.

The play will be directed by Elizabeth Stroppel, William Paterson University associate professor of theatre. Stroppel is also the producer of University Theatre and coordinator of the theatre and comedy program. Stroppel holds a doctorate from University of Texas at Austin. The cast includes Kennedy Smith of Englewood, John Hargrove of Passaic, Ashley Barett of Woodland Park, Helory Laurent of Willingboro and Elwin Cuevas of Brooklyn, NJ.
