In 1892, Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted for the bloody axe murders of her father and stepmother in a small Massachusetts town. 130 years later, four women will tell this gothic story of American mythology set to a blistering and unapologetic punk rock score. LIZZIE is Rage! Power! Betrayal! And BLOODY MURDER! Violence, adult content, language, sexual assault/rape and incest, attempted suicide, murder. Intense flashing lights, loud music/noises and haze are used during the performance.

OUR TOWN
Xavier University
Nov. 18-20
Gallagher Student Center Theatre [Evanston]

Directed by Aaron Rossini

OUR TOWN depicts the small town of Grover’s Corners as it follows the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. A heartbreaking and heartwarming reminder to never take the moments of life – no matter how large or small – for granted, Thornton Wilder’s theatrical masterpiece remains one of the most well-known and beloved plays of the American stage. Adult situations, content and language.
