Upcoming Student Nights

May 16
National Theatre of Great Britain in HD: This House
It's 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain's political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. James Graham's biting, energetic, and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manuever a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments. Broadcast in high definition from London's National Theatre.
7 pm

June 13
National Theatre of Great Britain in HD: The Audience
Helen Mirren reprises her role as Queen Elizabeth II in Peter Morgan's drama, directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours). This production, broadcast in high definition from London's West End, imagines a series of audiences between the Queen and Britain's prime minsters over the last 60 years.
7 pm

July 20
FUSION Theatre Company's Kicking a Dead Horse
An art dealer is stranded in the desert in this play by Sam Shepard.
2 pm and 8 pm
