Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for others and can be purchased at the door or in advance at the Spanish department office, 112 Wilson Hall. With a cast of Spanish-speaking students, former students and faculty, the popular theater group performs in Spanish and offers a different drama each year from Spain or Latin America. Spanish
professor Fernando Opere, the troupe’s founder, directs this
year’s cast in Lorca’s poetic tragedy, “Bodas
de Sangre.” Written in 1938, it is one of the Spanish poet’s
most famous works. It is set in Lorca’s native Andalucia region
and tells the story of a young bride who elopes with her lover. Contact: Bob Brickhouse, (434) 924-6856 |
