Drama Department to Present Conquistadors, Nov. 19-22
2009-11-09
The JSU Drama Department will present Barry Bradford's Conquistadors, winner of the 2009 Southern Plawright's Competition, November 19-22 on the mainstage at the Ernest Stone Performing Arts Center.
Conquistadors reveals, through both fact and fantasy, the hopes, passions, and frustrations of a young graduate student who discovers amazing parallels between Hernando De Soto’s exploration of Alabama in the sixteenth century and his own exploration of personal relationships in the present. This is a tense, powerful drama which deals frankly with issues of sex and violence, not in order to shock or pander, but in order to discover and understand.
This play contains strong adult language and sexual situations and is not recommended for under age 13.
It is being directed at JSU by Wayne H. Claeren.
Showtimes are November 19, 20, 21 at 7 p.m. and November 22 at 2 p.m.
Ticket prices are: Adults $10, Senior Citizen/JSU personnel $8, and Students/Military $5. MasterCard, Visa, and Discover are accepted.
For reservations, please call 256-782-5648.
The Ernest Stone Performing Arts Center is located at the corner of Church Avenue and 11th Street.
