But you can\u2019t see those because they already happened. I\u2019ll move on to something more productive for the purposes of this blog. Here are list of upcoming productions you may want to check out!<\/p>\n
Stage Troupe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>The Skriker<\/strong><\/p>\n October 29-31<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This is a staged reading that goes up the\u00a0<\/span>Thursday<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>Friday<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>Saturday<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of Halloween weekend. I\u2019ll be honest\u2026I don\u2019t know much about this one. From what I\u2019ve heard, it is edgy, spooky and insightful. It\u2019s perfect for Halloween time. To make up for my lack of knowledge about the show, I\u2019ve included the poster:<\/p>\n Stage Troupe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Wit<\/strong><\/p>\n November 5-7<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m in this play! I cannot say enough good things about the script of this play about Margaret Edson. The show will resonate with English majors and students on the pre-med track, but it will also connect to anyone who has dealt with the struggles of humanity, cancer and mortality.\u00a0 Death, really, but not in a gruesome way. Wit explores the journey to death (I\u2019m not spoiling anything) of a stoic English professor who has never allowed herself to open up to human contact or kindness. She has buried herself in her scholarly analysis of poetic texts, and in undergoing chemotherapy, she receives the same treatment from research-hungry medical professionals. Her final hours lead to great enlightenment, both for her and the audience. It\u2019s an honor to be part of this show.<\/p>\n BU On Broadway\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>The Wedding Singer<\/strong><\/p>\n November 12-14<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Do you like love? Do you like music? Do you like Adam Sandler and big hair? This high-energy musical brings that good old Sandler\/Barrymore movie to life. The cast is unbelievable and the story will make your heart warm. If you\u2019re into fun, contemporary and upbeat musicals, this is among the best. Every member of the cast will make you laugh, and the night will be nothing but a good time. I\u2019ll also be back stage on the Hair and Make-up team of this cool show, so if you come and notice any particularly brilliant hairstyles, you\u2019ll know who\u2019s talent is behind that. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Stage Troupe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Really Really<\/strong><\/p>\n November 19-21<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This is going to be a good one. This play explores the 24 hours after a typical college party. The play uses a potential rape accusation to explore many of the problems college students face. It deals with issues like stress, anxiety about the future, relationship issues, family ties, social standing and assault.\u00a0 The show is raw, honest and critical, pointing out the flaws in our generation and encouraging the audience to learn from the performance. This show is especially good to see when you\u2019re in college, and I know the cast and crew have really put their heart into it.<\/p>\n BU On Broadway\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>A New Brain<\/strong><\/p>\n December 3-5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This musical will be in the Agganis Student Theatre, a black box theatre that makes the performance very intimate. This eccentric show follows a disappointed composer (for a children\u2019s television show) who can\u2019t seem to write music that he finds satisfactory. On a lunch date with his best friend, he passes out right into his ziti and soon discovers he has an arteriovenous malformation\u2026basically this means something is very messed up in his brain and he needs a serious operation to survive. As he contemplates his situation, he goes on a mental journey with his family and friends and discovers the joys of life he failed to previously appreciate. This cast is also spectacular and the experience will definitely be moving. I am so excited to see it.<\/p>\n Please keep in mind that these are the two theatre groups within which I am mostly involved. Other groups, such as Wandering Minds and the Shakespeare Society, have plenty of amazing productions too. No matter what you go to see, supporting undergraduate theatre is worthwhile. Students work so hard and so passionately to earn those three short nights of bliss, and usually, those performances are impressively good. If you are interested in attending any of these shows, google \u201cBU On Broadway\u201d or \u201cBU Stage Troupe\u201d for more information about tickets and locations. Also, let me know if you\u2019re coming! I\u2019ll probably be there, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Patti Lupone. Bernadette Peters. Jeremy Jordan. Angela Lansbury.
