Patricia Wallinga Directs New Production of Ghost Quartet
|
The University Players, Indiana University's undergraduate student-run theater company, will stage an all-new production of Dave Malloy's theatrical concept album Ghost Quartet
in April. The show tells a story spanning seven centuries and a diverse collection of influences, from Arabian Nights and Thelonious Monk to Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen Sondheim; four actors play all of the many characters and instruments involved. As music director, Wallinga has created an entirely new arrangement based on the flexible score provided by the composer and tailored to the talents of this production's cast. Performances are April 7 and 8 in the Hoagy Carmichael Room in Morrison Hall.
