Northwestern State University Theatre and Dance will begin the second half of its season in February presenting two dramas along with a new ballet this semester.
The season’s theme is “Life is a Journey,” and each work focuses on the struggles that characters face as they go through life.
Tickets are $15 and $12 for senior citizens and non-Northwestern State students. NSU and Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts are admitted free with a current student I.D.
“Northwestern Theatre and Dance is excited about its spring semester productions,” said Scott Burrell, coordinator of theatre and dance. “Whether an audience member is looking for serious drama, something amusing, something inspirational, or something fantastical, they are sure to find it on the Northwestern Theatre/Dance stage this semester.”
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 8-11, and 15-17 and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 12 in Theatre West. Pia Wyatt is the director. Set in the world of a mental hospital, this place of rebellion is inhabited by an energetic,flamboyant, wise guy. This anti-hero is against the establishment, institutional authority, and status-quo attitudes. His story explores basichuman rights and impulses as he protests against heavy-handed rules about watching the World Series. He illegally stages both a fishing trip and a drinking party in the ward, which leads to his own paralyzing lobotomy.
"As it is in Heaven" is a moving portrayal of upheaval caused when the utopian existence of an 1830s Shaker community in Kentucky is threatened by the arrival of “newcomers” claiming to see angels. Critics have called the play “powerful and insightful…a thought-provoking piece, the message being that often we need not look as far as heaven to see angels here on earth.” "As it is in Heaven" will be performed on at 7:30 p.m. on March 14-17 in the A.A. Fredericks Auditorium. Dr. Vicki Parrish is the director.
"Alice in Wonderland", a new ballet by Kirstin Riehl and Stoneking will tell the popular story through dance. "Alice in Wonderland" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on April 20-21 and at 2 p.m. on April 22 in the A.A. Fredericks Auditorium.
