Tori Hurley, a senior speech and theatre major from Sheffield, Iowa, will be directing her capstone theatrical production from Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Department of Fine Arts titled “The Glass Menagerie” in Herod Hall Auditorium.

 

Tori Hurley, a senior speech and theatre major from Sheffield, Iowa, will be directing her capstone theatrical production from Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Department of Fine Arts titled “The Glass Menagerie” at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, April 19-20, and Saturday, April 21, at 2 p.m., in Herod Hall Auditorium on the Alva campus.

Ticket prices are $5 for general admission, $3 for Northwestern employees with ID and $1 for students with ID.

“The Glass Menagerie” focuses around the Wingfield family in the 1930’s as they struggle with everyday life. They deal with issues within the family, jobs and finding a man for the young daughter Laura. Throughout the play there are twists and turns as the characters face limitations set upon them by society and themselves.

 The cast and roles for the production are as follows: Karlie Osborn, senior history major from Medicine Lodge, Kan., as “Laura Wingfield;” Ethan Sacket, freshman business major from Fairview, as “Tom Wingfield;” Dr. Susan Perkins Vineyard, speech and theatre alumna from Enid as “Amanda Wingfield;” and Peyton Lucas, freshman psychology major from Fairview, as “Jim O’Conner.”

There will be some adult language in the production.

Northwestern’s theatre program challenges students to prepare them for their future by putting them in charge of their own final capstone project. Students are required to select a play production and see it through the entire process of casting, set-building, technical effects and more to the final, audience-ready production.

“The Glass Menagerie is a timeless piece that people can relate to even in today’s society, and almost everyone will relate to one of the characters in the show,” Hurley said. “From the parent wanting the best for their children, to looking for more in life, or someone looking for a place to belong. It has been a great experience working with people at different points of their lives, and seeing what they could bring to the roles.

“From working on my senior project I have learned that you can never work too far ahead, and always know that ideas can change and that’s okay. Even with the ups and downs I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

For more information on Northwestern’s theatre program contact Kimberly Weast, department of fine arts chair and professor of theatre arts, at (580) 327-8462 or kkweast@nwosu.edu.
