Current WSU students receive one free ticket with their Shocker ID, thanks to the Student Government Association.
“The Angel of Death” is a provocative and disturbing play about Alicia, a tormented social worker. She is grappling with her powerlessness to help the children in her files when she encounters Damien, a demonic tempter. Seduced by his charm, she decides to continue her mother’s legacy as a serial killer.
Don’t forget to join an exclusive talk with Jane, the playwright, and actors after each show. This is also the 50th anniversary of the Bela Kiralyfalvi National Student Playwriting Competition. Each year, a new play is selected from undergraduate and graduate student submissions from across the nation.
