USI Theatre launches 2009-10 season with Sam Shepard's "True West"
|
According to Wasserman, True West is about "two adult brothers sharing some time in their mother's home who become locked in a psychological and sometimes violent struggle for their individual identities. A turf war of the soul and a lamentation for the lost West, this is a major play by one of America's greatest living playwrights." The cast includes USI students Brandon Eck of Jasper and Jeff Dumond of Evansville as the brothers, Austin and Lee Joshua Smith of Indianapolis as Saul and Emily Kirk of Evansville as Mom. In addition to Wasserman, the artistic team for True West includes USI Department of Performing Arts faculty members Robert Broadfoot as scenic designer and Craig Young as lighting designer and USI students Anna Kysar of Indianapolis as costume designer and Michael Frohbeiter of Haubstadt as sound designer. Performances for True West are 7:30 p.m. October 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10, and 2 p.m. October 4 and 11. Tickets are $10, with discounts for seniors and students.
