FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE ARTS:
Stay Tuned for upcoming Friday Night Live Events on the third Friday of every month!
SEPTEMBER: UVA’s The Whethermen
OCTOBER: Queen Lear
Our hour-long production uses the original poetic language, with the narrative trimmed and shaped to reflect our interest in the themes of family dynamics among a mother and her daughters, the disbursal of generational wealth, aging in a female body, the blind expectations of privilege, and loyalty and love of chosen and blood family. It features six actors playing multiple characters, original music, and striking ensemble work.
This is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear by Karl Sikkenga, Kate Bennis, Miller Susen, with input from the original cast.
