NO EXIT
Featuring: Alix Heugas
Alumni Guest Artists: Kara Eileen, Sharlene Salvatierra and Ellen Schiavone
Facilitated by Faculty Member: Brenna Horner
No Exit is an existential portrayal of Hell in Sartre's best-known play. People are free to do anything they want, if they are willing to accept the consequences. With this freedom comes a similarly radical personal responsibility; one must own up to one’s actions and deal with the fall-out. In No Exit, three characters trapped in hell are forced to come to terms with this concept.
Performances:
April 25 @ 7:30 pm (IDR - Alumni most welcome!)
April 26 @ 7:30 pm (Alumni Night)
April 27 @ 3:00 & 7:00 pm
Tickets are FREE and reservations required.
