TheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the Root

TheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the Root

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - 7:30 pm to Friday, March 11, 2022 - 3:00 pm

This drama is based in the true story of the Jena Six: six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after a provoking incident on campus. “When the central character, a black female student named Raylynn, decides it’s time for change in her high school, she sits under a tree around which only white students regularly gather. In response - as was the case in Jena - nooses are subsequently hung from that tree, causing many black students to erupt in protest." (American Theatre)

This piece is filled with poetry, music, and choreography which help lift up the script’s important message.

Content Warning: This play contains topics related to the marginalization of specific groups, and the use of language and images that may be disturbing to some.

The first two shows are short one acts, with the third show a longer musical.

Lord Byron's Book Club
Written & Directed by Emma Kossayian
What if the Romantic poets of the late 18th century were in a book club? These eccentric and passionate poets are sharp with their words, and even sharper with their insults. What happens when they read Twilight?

Objectified
Written & Directed by Emma Kossayian
We have all heard of the woman with snakes for hair and eyes that turn people to stone. But have we heard her true story? This is the story of what happens when the monster within, enters without consent.

[Title of Show]
Directed by Lindy Rublaitus
Written by Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen
Struggling writers Hunter and Jeff race against a deadline to enter an original musical into a theatre festival. [Title of Show] depicts their journey as artists and friends as they write a hilarious, heartbreaking, and inspiring musical about writing a musical.
