BROOKINGS – South Dakota State University’s State University Theatre and Dance continues its fall 2020 season at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday with “The Living” by Anthony Clarvoe.
The performances will be at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center.
In 1665, the bubonic plague brought London to its knees. “The Living” follows Londoners who remain in the city as they struggle to find meaning in the midst of a catastrophic epidemic. Based in part on existing records from the period and Daniel Defoe’s “Journal of the Plague Year,” this remarkable, riveting drama provides a compelling confirmation of life.
Directed by professor J.D. Ackman, the production includes student actors Bradley Herrmann (Sioux Falls), Abby Turner (Miller), Braden Paulsen (Brandon), Grant Gunderson (Brandon), Hope Osborn (Milbank), Brady Wright (Rock Rapids, Iowa), Olivia Davis (Brookings) and Parker Rinehart (Volga). The student technical and production team includes Kelsey Werpy (Brookings), Keith Campbell (Brookings), David Kastner (Redfield) and Katherine Telkamp (Rock Rapids, Iowa).
“This is a particularly timely story. Our patrons will find significant parallels between Clarvoe’s play and our current situation. I am especially proud of the cast and crew, as they have been more than equal to the challenges of rehearsing and preparing the show with all of the considerations necessary to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible during the process,” Ackman said.
