2024 Feb 23

Slippery Rock University's Theatre Department will present its newest production titled "Tragedy: a tragedy" with five shows March 1-5 at the Stoner West Black Box Theater. Directed by Kari-Anne Innes, a SRU assistant professor of theatre, "Tragedy: a tragedy" will use projections and live-feed videography to bring the entire student-produced show to life. Based on the play by Will Eno, "Tragedy: a tragedy" explores the idea of a world where the sun sets and shows no sign of rising.

Show times and dates are 7:30 p.m., March 1-2 and 4-5 and 2 p.m., March 3. Tickets are $12 for SRU students and $14 for general admission, and people can be purchased online at sru.edu/tickets or in person at the door up to one hour before each performance.

"Audiences can expect a visceral experience inspired by Will Eno's poetic words and the creative team's stunning interpretation of the setting and characters," said Innes. "Students have been an integral part of the process, from helping to research the production to the scenic, lighting, sound and video and projection designers, and, of course, the actors. The content is dark, literally, the sun has set for the last time, but, as in life, there are moments of comedy, tenderness and hope amidst the chaos."

The cast and crew of "Tragedy: a tragedy" includes:

Isaac Smith, a sophomore theatre major from Edinboro, Pennsylvania, as the lighting designer.
