Good Company Theatre to Return With The Utah Premiere Of GOD KINDA LOOKS LIKE TUPAC
The play runs September 12-29.
Good Company Theatre will return with the Utah Premiere of God Kinda Looks Like Tupac by Emilio Rodriguez.
High school can be tough for everyone. Students, educators, no one is immune from the pressure. When Karina tells her fellow teacher, Garrett, about a student symposium that might win him Teacher of the Year, he's all in. He thinks that Corinne, one of his talented pupils, could take the prize. But when the artwork she wants to submit isn't what he expected, Garrett spirals. Will she cave to his request to scrap her idea for one he thinks is more acceptable?
"If you are someone who wants to engage in meaningful conversations about human beings existing in the education system, and you want to laugh and have a good time, then you should check out God Kinda Looks Like Tupac," explains playwright Emilio Rodriguez.
"We're glad to be back and producing thought-provoking and timely work," says Good Company Theatre Co-Director Camille Washington. "It's exciting for us to continue doing what we're known for- bringing fresh contemporary theater to Ogden."
The play stars Estephani Cerros as Karina (Ballet for Aliens, Plan-B Theatre), Corey Clark as Garrett, and Wendy Joseph (SLACabaret, Salt Lake Acting Company) as Corinne. Please refer to theie website for biographies.
