Set in early 20th century Vienna, La Ronde is a provocative piece dealing with sex and the social classes. Written by Arthur Schnitzler, an Austrian playwright who was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and adapted by John Barton for the Royal Shakespeare Company, La Ronde concerns 10 characters who are all connected through a series of rendezvous, some scandalous. The characters, five men and five women, are from various walks of life, such as the military, domestic service and the bourgeoisie. Characters enchant, cajole, exploit and maneuver one another in a series of surprising encounters. 
For the third time this season, Texas Wesleyan’s Katy Houchin has been named Red River Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. Houchin received the award for the period of Sept. 22-28.
