The Department of Music has concerts aplenty the next few weeks to tide you over until the fall, and the Department of Theatre and Dance closes out the academic year with a presentation of author-actor Martin Moran in his acclaimed one-man show The Tricky Part, a true story of sexuality, spirituality and the mystery of human experience.

The play

�Ѵǰ�����’s The Tricky Part stems from his youth, when, starting at the age of 12, he had a three-year sexual relationship with an older man. Many years later, Moran found and confronted his abuser. Subsequently, Moran transformed his story into a book and play — a riveting, often funny and always surprising journey through the complexities of Catholicism, desire and human trespass.

The play's New York premiere in 2004 received an Obie award and two Drama Desk nominations, including outstanding play. Warning: Adult themes and situations.

Three performances, all at 7 p.m., Thursday-Saturday, June 1-3, Vanderhoef Studio Theatre, .
