Missouri State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance continues its 2024-2025 season with its production of “The Moors.”
Assistant professor Nikki Ferry directs the Gothic dark comedy written by Jen Silverman.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24-26 and 28 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 27.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students/seniors. Special advance rates are available for students with an MSU ID.
All performances take place in the Craig Hall Balcony Theatre.
Seeking “Connection”
As Ferry explains, “The Moors” reflects this year’s theme of “Connection” through the universal concept of desire.
“Overall, the play captures the complexity of interpersonal interactions by highlighting the fine line that must be drawn between loneliness and the need for connection in a harsh and unwelcoming environment,” she said.
“Every character in ‘The Moors’ has deep desires, whether they are related to power, fantasy, love or validation,” Ferry said. Two of those characters are animals — The Mastiff and The Moor-hen.
“It’s been a lot of joy to learn about these two very different animals who are experiencing very real human feelings and interactions,” Ferry said.
