Our Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts produces shows which both inspire and challenge the imagination. While handling classics from the likes of Shakespeare and others with ease, the department is also known for showcasing productions which deal with contemporary issues, like Angels in America, Parts I and II and Oklahoma City’s first production of The Laramie Project. The department is a participant in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival from which they regularly bring
home armfuls of awards.

Conviction

A routine traffic stop goes terribly wrong in a Texas border town, leading to shots fired and Deputy Sheriff Eduard Gonzalez going to prison for violating the civil rights of a convicted drug smuggler.  After three years he is released a changed man.  Broken, and with his life in shambles, he struggles about what action to take when he finds himself face to face with the man he feels put him away.

Don’t Dress For Dinner

7:30 p.m. Feb. 14-16; 2 p.m. Feb 17, Mitchell Hall Theater.

This farcical concoction involves a married couple, an old friend, a mistress and an outlandish cook who's enlisted to take on different identities. The plot is a recipe for hilarious confusion.

Metamorphoses

Metamorphoses brings Ovid’s tales to stunning visual life.  Set in and around a large pool of water onstage, this Tony Award-winning play juxtaposes the ancient and the contemporary in both language and image to reflect the variety and persistence of narrative in the face of inevitable change.
