Millikin Theatre & Dance to Present ROUGH MAGIC

Millikin University's Department of Theatre and Dance will open its 2015-16 production season with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's "Rough Magic" starting Wednesday, Sept. 30 through Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. The production will be directed by Dr. Thomas Robson, Millikin assistant professor of theatre and dance.

All performances will be held at Albert Taylor Theatre in Shilling Hall located on Millikin University's campus.

Shakespeare and comic books collide in this darkly funny action comic fantasy from playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (TV's "Glee," Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, Marvel Comics). Good and evil clash in this exciting and boldly magical play.
