Wright State Theatre Presents 1st Annual Parking Lot Fringe Festival
This tailgate-styled event was built from scratch to fill the void for student-produced works normally produced in their workshop space, the Jubilee Theatre Directing Lab. They invite audiences to come feel the raw and unfettered energy of youth in the ‘grass roots’ impassioned work of this inaugural year.
TWO TRAINS RUNNING to Celebrate Opening Night
August Wilson's Two Trains Running, the seventh in his 10-part, decade-by-decade saga of ordinary African Americans in the turbulent 20th century that The New York Times described as his "most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history," will be on stage at Tucson's Temple of Music & Art Jan. 19-Feb. 9 and at the Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix, Feb. 14-March 3.
