The CSUDH Department of Theatre and Dance presents "Marcus is Walking" by Joan Ackerman, directed by theatre faculty Brian Stevens. Performances are in the Edison Theatre; the show will run Oct. 2-5 and Oct. 10-12 at 7:00 p.m., and Oct. 4 and 11 at 1:00 p.m.

On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the car, the play examines the emotional landscape we roam as we travel in our cars. Control, navigation, love, and escape are some of the themes explored. A protective father shepherds his son through a neighborhood on Halloween; an actor on his way to perform provokes a rear-end collision and confrontation with a Czech émigré cab driver; and a devastated businessman strikes up an unlikely alliance with a homeless woman who sleeps in his car. This is the landscape of human frailty and vulnerability, charm and strength-a playwright's whimsy combined with a shrewd sense of observation.

Tickets to "Marcus is Walking" are $10 for students and $15 for General Admission. Tickets may be purchased for in-person experience at www.csudh.edu/theatre/tickets. Performances will take place in the Edison Theatre, located on the CSUDH campus, 1000 E. Victoria St. For driving directions and a map of campus, visit www.csudh.edu/directions.
