auditions coming up!

the university players are looking for cast and crew for their new production: peter shaffer’s EQUUS!

dr. dysart, psychiatrist, is confronted with alan, a boy who has blinded six horses in a fit of religious fervour – or madness? love? In an attempt to find a mutual understanding of the deed between doctor and patient, profound questions of sanctity, sexuality, and self are raised. disease, desire, and disorder – EQUUS challenges established relationships between culture and condition.
