Wright State sets theater season
Wright State University Theatre will present a 2011-12 theater season of five blockbusters.
Exact dates are still to be decided, but, in order, the shows will be:
Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” the musical “Hairspray,” the musical “Rent,” Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “The Phantom of the Opera.”
Department chair W. Stuart McDowell, who will direct “Phantom” and “Rent,” said the other directors will be: Greg Hellems, “Death of a Salesman”; Joe Deer, “Hairspray,” and Sandra Crews, “Merchant of Venice.”
“Salesman” is expected to feature Human Race Theatre resident artist Scott Stoney as Willy Loman and Lee Merrill as Linda Loman.
Productions in the Herbst Theatre, WSU’s smaller performance space in the basement of the Creative Arts Center, will include “Barnaby Rudge, Part II,” a premiere directed by Bruce Cromer.
A play staged by Marya Spring Cordes and a musical directed by Jamie Cordes will also be part of that lineup.
Ticket details will be announced later, but McDowell said subscribers will have the option of four shows (not including “Rent”) or all five.
