Coming to Swine Palace and LSU Theatre
The Book of Will
by Lauren Gunderson
directed by George Judy
February 15 – 25
Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have literary masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet. But without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s
plays forever! After the death of their friend, the two actors are determined to compile
the First Folio and preserve the words that shaped their lives.
Dead City
by Sheila Callaghan
directed by Liz LeBlanc
February 20 – 24
"Dead City, Sheila Callaghan's riff on James Joyce's Ulysses is stylish, lyrical, fascinating,
occasionally irritating, and eminently worthwhile... the kind of work that is thoroughly
invigorating." – Backstage
