The Lamar University Department of Theatre & Dance is pleased to announce their performances for this spring semester; “The Heidi Chronicles” by Wendy Wasserstein, “The Revolutionists” by Lauren Gunderson and “Dance Unleashed” choreographed by LU dance faculty and guest artists.
The first production, “The Heidi Chronicles” is written by Wendy Wasserstein and directed by assistant professor Alan Brincks. This Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play continues to impress years after its debut in 1989. Heidi Holland and her friends navigate careers, friendships and lovers as they make their way through the last decade of the 20th century, questioning their identities, relationships and daily lives as women in an ever-changing world.
“The Heidi Chronicles” will take the stage on Feb. 23 through Feb. 26 with showtimes beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. All performances will be held in the University Theatre between the Dishman Art Museum and the Jimmy Simmons Music building on the campus of Lamar University.
The second production, “The Revolutionists” is written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by guest artist Laura Moreno. Lauren Gunderson has been the most produced playwright in the U.S. for the past few years. Gunderson brings us this brutal comedic quartet of four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. This grand dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, feminism and terrorism, art and how we go about changing the world.
“The Revolutionists” will take the stage on April 13 through April 16 with showtimes beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. All performances will be held in the Studio Theatre between the Dishman Art Museum and the Jimmy Simmons Music building on the campus of Lamar University.
The third production is the faculty dance concert, “Dance Unleashed,” choreographed by Lamar University dance faculty and guest artists. The audience can expect to see a variety of dance styles performed by Lamar University student company and guest artists. Jazz, silks, modern, tap, contemporary and more will be featured in this once-in-a-lifetime dance concert.
“Dance Unleashed” will take the stage April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and April 29 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. All performances will be held in the University Theatre, between the Dishman Art Museum and the Jimmy Simmons Music building on the campus of Lamar University.
