Oakland University presents 'Gloria'

About This Event

Oakland University's School of Music, Theatre and Dance presents Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' acclaimed play, 'Gloria'. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it is a provocative examination of office politics and the aftermath of violence.

What to Expect

• 1.The production is a dialogue-heavy contemporary drama so you'll hear sharp exchanges about power and violence rather than flashy staging.
• 2.Varner Hall will feel like a campus theatre space and you'll likely sit for the full runtime in your seat with the lights down.
• 3.Talking happens mostly in the lobby during intermission; stay respectful and avoid spoilers in the hall.
• 4.Parking on campus can be busy after 6 pm, so give yourself extra time and check campus maps or the box office for parking guidance.
• 5.If you're new to OU theatre, skim the program notes ahead of time to catch the context and themes and be prepared for mature content.
