Trinity Theatre presents a World Premiere

Trinity University Theatre invites audiences to experience its second main stage production of the year, Between Worlds: A Devised Piece. The production has been created entirely by Trinity students, including concept development, script, and performance. Forgoing the typical five week rehearsal process, the students involved in this production have been hard at work since August developing a world premiere performance that is both engaging and challenging.

Devised theatre, or collaborative creation, is developed through improvisation and imagination with no initial script to rely on. The resulting piece is a mélange of plays, dance, music, stand-up comedy, and slam poetry, all swirled together almost as in a dream. Director Rachel Joseph, assistant professor of theatre at Trinity, explains, “This performance offers the audience a meditation on the liminality of theatre. It asks the audience to consider: What do you carry? What are you between? What are your worlds?”

Between Worlds: a Devised Piece opens the weekend of Nov. 11-13 and will continue Nov. 16-19 in the Stieren Theatre located in the Ruth Taylor Theatre Building on the Trinity campus. Curtain times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2:30 p.m. Sunday, and 7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Tickets are $12 for adults; $8 for seniors, faculty/staff, and alumni; and $6 for students. Tickets can be purchased online at tinyurl.com/trinityutheatre and at the theatre box office from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reservations can be made by calling 210-999-8515 or emailing tutheater@trinity.edu. The box office is also open one hour prior to each performance.
