The KWP presents The Possessed — November 22 & 23, 6:30pm, Francis Scott Key Auditorium

Directed by Khanya Mnisi '27 and assistant directed by Kaelin King '28, Albert Camus's incredible adaptation of Dostoevsky's Demons is a tapestry of drama, comedy, philosophy, societal commentary, and spiritual meditation. Come watch a stellar ensemble of torn and dead souls as they strive to love and believe in something higher, yet are unable and in turn suffer from that inability. Watch as a small town becomes possessed by the demons of pride and nihilism, which then drive each citizen into the gulf of revolution.

The KWP presents Arcadia — April 25 & 26, 7:00 p.m., McDowell Hall

Directed by Andy Manne ‘27 and assistant director Davin Farris ‘28, Tom Stoppard’s dazzling comedy blends present and past, love and longing, mathematics and art. Forbidden romance shocks a nineteenth-century English estate, as modern researchers struggle to unravel a mystery surrounding Lord Byron and a historic duel, in a breathless collision of two eras.

Come see the most pitiful and lamentable tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark…. in less than a month! Dec. 6th and 7th, at 7:00 PM in the FSK auditorium.

Starring Jack Domanski (Hamlet), George Eustice (Claudius), Jacob Sharpe (Polonius), Khanya Mnisi (Laertes), Rachel Hauben (Gertrude), and Maya Dickerson (Ophelia), as well as a truly extraordinary range of cameos from our ensemble—including delightful tutor appearances. Directed by the brilliant KWP veteran, Magnolia Vandiver.

Hamlet is a play to enjoy and ponder. You have most likely read it at least once, but have you ever seen it like this ?
