University of Southern Indiana Theatre continues its 2024-25 season with Eurydice, written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by Joshua Robinson, Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre in the Philip H. Hagemann Performing Arts Department. Performances will run from Thursday through Sunday, October 17-20 in the USI Performance Center.
Eurydice reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With ingenious plot twists and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.
Eurydice will feature Actor’s Equity Association members Jon Froehlich and Margaret Kayes as part of USI Theatre’s continuing efforts to allow students the opportunity to work with professional, union actors and stage managers. This program gives students the unique opportunity to learn and work firsthand with professionals in a real time production setting.
Joining Froehlich in the cast will be USI Theatre students Jaden Crouch in the titular role; Kris Carlos as Orpheus; Cruz Quiroz as the Nasty Interesting Man; David Lloveras as the Big Stone; Emma Marshall as the Little Stone; and Brynne Stephens as the Loud Stone.
Joining Kayes on the technical side will be Grey Miller as Assistant Stage Manager; Chloe Kummer as Assistant Student Director; USI alum Sean Nicolls as Lighting Designer; Joshua Stallings as Composer/Sound Designer; Shan Jensen as Costume Designer; Paul Weimer as Scenic Designer; Jaddyn Sage as Choreographer; Kim Coleman as Costume Shop Manager; Adam Funkhouser as Box Office Operations Manager; and Andrew Hammond as Technical Director.
