What to Expect

• 1.You'll see a brisk, provocative drama staged in a campus theatre. The focus is on sharp dialogue, power dynamics, and an ensemble cast delivering intense performances.
• 2.Crowd energy tends to be thoughtful and quiet during scenes, with afterwards conversations in the lobby likely to go deep. It's a crowd that cares about what they just watched.
• 3.Concessions at Varner Hall are usually limited, so grab coffee or a snack from a campus cafe before curtain and plan your timing.
• 4.Parking can get tight on campus; arrive 20 minutes early and use the designated university lots. The walk from the lot to Varner Hall is short.
• 5.If you're new to a college theatre experience, breathe and just soak in the atmosphere, then stick around for the talkback if there is one.
