Theatre Arts Fall Mainstage Production

Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter

The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, Bury the Dead, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set  “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers.  About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried.  This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter,  Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried?  The play will be performed by an ensemble company.
November 18-21, all performances at 7pm.

Montgomery Theatre, Annenberg Center for Performing Arts.

Tickets are now available  on Annenbergcenter.org
