Drury University Theatre's first production of the season, the surreal, absurdist "Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness" by Anthony Neilson, will open Wednesday Oct. 10 at 7:30pm in Sunderland Studio Theatre in Drury's O'Bannon Hall. The production will run through Oct.13 with evening performances Wed-Sat at 7:30pm, with an additional matinee performance Saturday the 13th at 2:00pm. Haddy Kreie, Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre at Drury, directs the production. She was joined by two Drury students in our studio Friday morning: Becca Haegele, the stage manager for the show, and actor Afton Jagels, who plays three human roles... and a bear.
