Theatre and dance students produce two comedies

During the spring semester, the University of Richmond campus will have the opportunity to witness two distinctly different theatrical performances. The first brings dark comedy to life in Martin McDonagh's "The Pillowman." The play will be produced entirely by members of the Department of Theatre and Dance's Production Studies III class, in which students form a production company, choose a play to produce and are responsible for all elements of production, from casting actors to designing costumes and set. The play follows Katurian, an author who writes disturbing stories with graphic depictions of murdered children.
