SUNY Potsdam students to present 'Passion Play' March 24 - April 2

Posted

POTSDAM -- The SUNY Potsdam Department of Theatre and Dance presents the drama, "Passion Play," at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday from March 24 to 26 and March 31 to April 2 in the College Theatre, Satterlee Hall.

The backdrop for acclaimed playwright Sarah Ruhl's play is the centuries-old traditional staging of the Passion of Christ. The play investigates productions in two different eras -- Northern England in 1575, just as Queen Elizabeth outlaws the annual staging, and Oberammergau, Bavaria in 1934 as Adolf Hitler is rising to power.

The student acting ensemble includes Mackenzie Barmen, Conrad Browne-Lorcher, Alyssa Cavallo, Anthony Chanov, Matt Dubrey, Caitlin Hammer, Peter Klug, Bridget Macalusco, Andy Metz, Aaron Moore and Ryan Hart.

Tickets are $12, $10 for SUNY Potsdam faculty and staff and senior citizens, and $5 for SUNY Potsdam students
