First-year students to appear in Cal U. production
The fall semester’s second presentation by California University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Music and Theatre features the talents of Cal U.’s newest actors.
First-year students will appear onstage Nov. 1-3 in “Red Horse,” an original retelling of the experimental 1970s production developed by the Mabou Mines and director Lee Breuer. Red Horse is a collaborative creation, and a re-imagined choral narrative about the equine. Actors create images and moments allowing dialogue to give way to actor’s bodies in a poetic staging of the life of the horse.
Suited for families, “Red Horse” marks the 22nd annual first-year student show.
Curtain time is 7 p.m. Nov. 1-2, with shows at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Nov. 3. All performances are in the Gerald and Carolyn Blaney Theatre in Steele Hall. Ticket price is $12 for adults; $6 for those 55 and older and 12 and younger. Cal U. students with valid CalCards pay 50 cents, plus a $5 deposit that is refunded at the show. For more information, call 724-938-5943. Featured ensemble members include Chris Bittner of Charleroi, Sophia Brand of Monongahela, Amanda Woodburn of Burgettstown and Levi Henry of Monessen.
