UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS
Fall THEATRE PRODUCTION: Lear
November 14-16 | 7:30 p.m.
Davis Hall Little Theater
The University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma’s Theatre Program will debut a new adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear as its fall production on Nov. 14-16 at 7:30 p.m. in Davis Hall. Katie Davis, Professor of Theatre, used several editions of this historic tragedy to create this re-imagined production using text from the earliest publications of Shakespeare’s play. In this version, scenes that were only discussed in Shakespeare’s text will be staged, Lear is portrayed as a matriarch instead of a patriarch, and the length of the play has been shortened, while maintaining the play's focus and themes.
Tickets for Lear will be available at the Davis Hall Little Theatre Box Office starting at 6pm on the evenings of performances. Students, Faculty, Alumni, and Staff of the University are admitted without charge. A “pay-what-you-can” donation is suggested for the General Public. This tragedy may not be appropriate for very young audience members because of graphic violence. For more information call Katie Davis, Coordinator of the Theatre Arts Program for the School of Visual and Performing Arts at (405) 574-1310.
