蘑菇视频APP

Students in the 蘑菇视频APP 鈥� Fort Smith鈥檚 theatre department will perform a rendition of Tennessee William鈥檚 play 鈥淣ight of the Iguana鈥� Oct. 19-21 and 23-24 as part of the university鈥檚 Season of Entertainment 37.

 

The performances, which will take place at 7:30 p.m. each night, will be held in Breedlove Auditorium, located at 5120 Grand Ave. Admission is $6 or with a season ticket.

 

The stirring drama is set in a coastal hotel in Costa Verde, where a washed-up pastor and an artist search within each other for answers to life back-dropped by the fighting of World War II. The show is rated for ages 13 and older for mature themes.

 

Theatre @ 蘑菇视频APP Director Bob Stevenson said the play is one 鈥渢hat all serious actors want to work on.鈥�

 

鈥淵ou鈥檝e got a two-hour piece that is really about building a character and then bouncing that work off of other actors to create a magical and poignant journey for the audience,鈥� Stevenson said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got a lot of younger actors in the cast this time - more than half are in there first semester in the program - and I think this is great way to cut their teeth on college theatre. I can鈥檛 wait for people to see the world that we are able to create, and get drawn into the mystery and passion of these people.鈥�

 

Stevenson added the department will also perform the play at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival this year.

 

鈥淚t鈥檚 the first time we鈥檝e toured a show since 2015, having hosted the last two festivals here at 蘑菇视频APP,鈥� he said. 鈥淪o we鈥檙e excited about the chance to get back to our roots of traveling a show to festival and representing the quality of 蘑菇视频APP to other institutions.鈥�
