Second-year Theatre students star in Chaos

March 22nd, 2022

Second-year students of ÆßÐDzʿª½±'s Professional Theatre Program are presenting Chaos by Laura Lomas, directed by Stefanie Buxton.

Chaos is a series of interconnected stories, where characters search for meaning in the modern world. British playwright Laura Lomas says, "I was thinking about how I felt as a young person and how the world felt. The word "chaos" kept springing out of that. I wanted to write something in the gesture of that Chaos, as a celebration of it. ... I didn't want it to make sense, but I did want it to feel alive - all the ways I remember feeling as a teenager."

Chaos runs March 23-26 at 8 p.m. and is PWYW (pay-what-you-want) at the door. Tickets can be booked on Eventbrite; click on Read More link.

Professional Theatre presents Harper Reagan

March 9th, 2021

"If you go, I don't think you should come back."

On a startlingly bright autumn night in 2006, Harper Regan walked away from her home, her husband and daughter, and kept walking. She told nobody that she was going. She told nobody where she was going. She put everything she ever built at risk. For two lost days and nights, until it looked as though her entire life might unravel, she didn't turn back. From Uxbridge to Stockport to Manchester and back again, Harper Regan navigates the UK, exploring family, love and delusion.

Second-year students of the Professional Theatre Department perform in Harper Regan. The show will be livestreamed March 10 - 13 at 8 p.m.

Links will be posted on each day of the performance on the Facebook page entitled ÆßÐDzʿª½± Theatre Productions, in the Read More link.
