KAISER, a surreal but timely adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, runs at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 9 and 10 in the Davis Hall Little Theater. The show is free to USAO students, staff and faculty. Tickets are $10 at the door with a $5 discount for students. The play is appropriate for audience members over 13; younger audiences may be disturbed by nightmarish makeup and stylized violence.

During this hotly contested presidential election, fueled by a sluggish economy and a polarized electorate, Katie Davis, associate professor of theatre arts, feels like the time is right for some political commentary from long ago.

“I want to present a play that reminds audiences of the importance of the thinking voter - while giving them a theatrical experience that will surprise and delight them,” Davis says.

“What we created is KAISER.”
