POOR BOY'S CHORUS to Play Student Activities Center Blackbox Theatre, 11/7-16
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents Poor Boys' Chorus, a new play by Brian Kettler, November 7-16 at the University Student Activities Center Blackbox Theatre.
It's summer in a small town. Beautiful Annabel strikes up a tentative friendship with Steeds, a poor orphan. A carnival sweeps through, featuring the mysterious illusionist, Bill the Magnificent. Plans are hatched, promises are broken, and innocent mistakes produce tragic consequences. Poor Boys' Chorus uses rhythm, light and magic to tell a story that is poignant, timeless and uniquely theatrical.
Playwright Brian Kettler is a third-year M.F.A. candidate at The University of Texas at Austin. He is a graduate of Kenyon College and the National Theater Institute. He was the recipient of the 2012 Oregon Literary Fellowship in Drama. His full-length plays include School Suspension, Personal and Poor Boys' Chorus. His short play, Clown Room, was featured in the 2014 Theater Masters National M.F.A. Playwrights Festival, with production in Aspen and New York City.
Poor Boys' Chorus features an all-star cast including Malori Carr, Will Gibson Douglas, Adolfo Lambert, Quinn Lara, Luke Linsteadt, Keith Machekanyanga, Natalie Patton and Shanon Weaver.
