Greek Tragedy of 5th Century Athens and the modern Blues music of 1920’s New Orleans come together in an explosive, moving and timeless exploration of what it means to hurt like a human.

🎭 An all-female cast of powerful voices featuring talented faculty, student, and community artists confront the consequences of violence and its survival in a world moving from retribution towards compassion. We hope.

🎵 Original music and arrangements by Brian Breen complement text and lyrics by George Judy, with innovative sound design by Tyler Kieffer and Dramaturgy from Barrett Hileman.

🆓 This is a FREE event, sponsored by the Provost Fund for Big Ideas in the Humanities and the LSU School of Theatre & Film.

Hello School of Theatre and Film Community,

We are in great need of more individuals to work on Run Crew for both of the Fall productions (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and POTUS.) I ask that you consider the opportunity to participate on one of the productions. It is a great way to be involved and no experience is required. That said, if you have experience and would be interested in a more responsible position, please let me know. Email [email protected] for more information. Thank you.

🎉 Happy opening to the company of “Homebound”—this year’s study abroad production, performing feats of strength, agility, musicality, and hilarity at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland!

🎭 About the piece: If “home” is lost…destroyed…and you have nothing left and no one to turn to…what do you do? This show is about finding home.

🎥 Using cutting edge projection, live video feed, original immersive media, and unbridled athletic enthusiasm, you will witness a wild odyssey toward a crazy version of home and belonging.

🌍 LSU Theatre world premieres their ninth new devised piece to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!

🎬 Founding member of Diavolo, Nick Erickson, directs the company using dance, acrobatics and innovation to tell this timeless story. !!!
