Thomas More University
March 20-22
[Crestview Hills]

Directed by Greg Procaccino

Sarte’s famous existentialist play follows three people to a room in hell, where their torture is revealed to be each other’s company. Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle, are brought to a lavish room to await their punishment. While they expected some sort of torture chamber to punish them in the afterlife, they instead begin to realize where the true torment really lies. Their constant arguing finally has Garcin state the famous line: “Hell is other people”. An exploration of human nature and relationships, No Exit is a play brimming with sardonic wit. You’ll laugh. You’ll ponder life’s meaning. You’ll have a devilishly good time.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK Runs April 3-5

SSCC_Diary of Anne Frank logoTHE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
SSCC Theatre
April 3-5
Southern State Community College Central Campus Edward K. Daniels Auditorium [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Brendan Bell, Paula Campagna, Kevin Evans, Jessica Fair, Billy Henry, Ian Holmes, Leslie Holmes, Mark Holmes, Jackson King, Jeffrey Mann, Payton Taylor & Sarah Wuellner

In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, based on the original play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Anne Frank (played by Abby Danner) emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.
