The Susquehanna University Department of Theatre is proud to present our next production, By the Water, written by Sharyn Rothstein, and directed by Erik Viker, as part of our 2021-22 Main Stage Season.
Performances will be on Thursday, April 28th through Saturday, April 30th at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee performance on May 1st at 2:30 p.m.
Dramatists Play Service says “Hurricane Sandy has just ravaged the lifelong Staten Island home of Marty and Mary Murphy. But the storm has ripped apart more than just the walls: with their neighbors too devastated to stay, the couple’s beloved community is in danger of disappearing forever. Determined to rebuild, Marty wages a campaign to save his neighborhood and his home, but when the Murphys’ sons arrive to help their parents dig out, past betrayals come rushing to the surface. With fierce compassion and poignant humor, By the Water reminds us that the very powers that tear us apart can also bring us together.”
The production will be in person and available to the public, our theater will be at 50% capacity and masks will be required. Tickets are free for Susquehanna students, $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and non-SU students.
All tickets for Department of Theatre productions can be purchased through the Box Office located in the Degenstein Campus Center Theater lobby. The box office is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Tickets can be purchased in person or by calling 570-372-ARTS. The box office will also be open for one hour before every performance.
