The performances will take place at Rafters Theatre in Dutcher Hall from 7 - 9 p.m. This year's production will have a cast of only six actors. Jonathan Strayer, director of dramatics and assistant professor, says while the cast of actors is only six, there are typically 40-50 people working on productions, without whom there would be no production.
Strayer says this production came together with help from the plethora of students stemming from all different backgrounds and majors, such as theatre and entertainment technology majors, music, education, biotech, English and many more.
Faculty and staff have also worked on the production, including Strayer and assistant professor, production manager Harry Schueren and assistant professor Adam Boyer.
