This Random World - Special Benefit Performance

A heartfelt show of missed connections and yearning, the U of I production of “This Random World” has been invited to Region VII of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in February at Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a great honor and recognition of the very talented group of faculty and students that brought the play to life in Oct. 2019.

Theatre Arts hosts a one-night-only benefit performance of “This Random World” at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at the Hartung Theater and we invite you to experience this special performance before it travels to Colorado. Funds raised will help cover the cost of taking the show on the road. Admission is by donation. Traveling to KCACTF increases the visibility of the University of Idaho to prospective students and colleagues at peer institutions. Please join us for this special occasion.

An edgy, urban fairy tale, "Deep Calls" is the story of a young woman working to get out of and heal from a life in prostitution. She journals her experiences, framing them as a fairy tale adventure as she is not yet ready to face certain events head on. The play moves between the fairy tale journal entries and the interactions with the woman who runs the safe house in which she is staying, guiding her along in her real-life journey toward restoring her identity and sense of self-worth. Mature content. Not for children.

Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, and dream of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. "The Moors" is a dark comedy about love, desperation and visibility.
