CCSU’s Theatre Department presents lively phantasmagoria “Suicide King and One-Eyed Jacks” on November 10 at 7:30 p.m.; admission is free

 
NEW BRITAIN – November 7, 2007 -- Central Connecticut State University’s Theatre Department will present “Suicide King and One-Eyed Jacks,” a collaborative performance written, directed, and performed by six senior CCSU acting students.  It will be performed in Torp Theatre, in the CCSU administration building on Stanley Street, on Saturday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m.  The performance is open to the public, and free parking is available in campus parking lots.

“The production is a lively phantasmagoria, comprised of a series of short stories both personal and fantastical,” according to Lani Johnson, professor and chair of the Theatre Dept.  “While the subject matter ranges from addiction to acrobatics, comedy to horror, and abstract to stark realism, ‘Suicide King’ is ultimately just about making your way through this complicated life. It has been reworked for a chance to reach a broader audience. All are invited and encouraged to join us for one riotous night.”

“Suicide King and One-Eyed Jacks” features performances by Zachariah Delventhal, Mary Jo Calvo, Sarah Hutchinson Warner, Vanessa Clarke-Bligh, Kate Bunce, and Patrick Wheeler.
