Kassi Davidson to perform in 'Our Town' at William Woods University

2012 Apr 6

Lessons of life and death are learned in "Our Town," to be presented this month by the William Woods University Theatre Department. The play will be performed April 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. and April 22 at 2 p.m. in Cutlip Auditorium of the McNutt Campus Center.

American playwright Edward Albee described "Our Town" as "probably the finest play ever written by an American."

Kassi Davidson of Roseau, Minn. is cast as Emily Webb.

Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grover's Corners neighbors, George Gibbs, (played by Nick Hoover of Kingdom City, Mo.) and Emily Webb, (Kassaundra Davidson of Roseau, Mo.), whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage.

When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town-growing up, adulthood, and death-is fully realized.

The play will be directed by guest theatre artist, Kathy Potter. Joe Potter will provide scene and lighting design. Jane Friedman will design the costumes.

Ticket prices are: adults, $12; children (6-12), $6; WWU faculty/staff/students $8; and seniors (62+) $10. To order tickets, go to www.williamwoods.edu/academics/art/theatre_schedule or call the box office at 573-592-4267.
