We look back at people from the town where Matthew Shepard lived and their reaction to a crime that galvanized America and forced a critical reckoning with our attitudes toward gender and sexuality. Told through the actual words of people who experienced these events first-hand in Laramie, Wyoming. This production is directed by Associate Professor Josh Aaron McCabe and produced in collaboration with Wright State’s Office of LGBTQA Affairs.

ARCADIA
Wright State University
Feb. 3-12
Creative Arts Center, Festival Playhouse [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes, Assoc Chair, School of Fine and Performing Arts, WSU

This brilliant drama by one of our greatest living playwrights leaps artfully between the past (1809) and the present, where order and chaos, certainty and confusion, genius and unexpressed passion intertwine and collide in what one critic called “Tom Stoppard’s richest, most ravishing comedy to date.” Arcadia explores the possibilities life offers as we make seemingly minor, but irreversible, choices.
