UNI alumnus Kristin Teig Torres returns to her theatre
home to portray the emotionally troubled mother in
Lee Blessing’s Independence. Blessing, the Tony award
and Pulitzer Prize nominated playwright, takes us to
Independence, Iowa to explore the emotional battlefield
within the home of Evelyn Briggs as eldest daughter Kess
is called home to calm a crisis. Kess discovers middle
sister Jo, an incurable romantic and longtime virgin, trying
unsuccessfully to repeatedly diffuse the tension while
Sherry, the salty-tongued rebellious teenager, can’t wait to
flee her mother’s apron strings and the gluey combinations
of guilt, anger and need in this wise, humorous and
disturbing study of a family divided against itself.

Written in 1945 by classic playwright Tennessee
Williams, The Glass Menagerie unravels the memories
of Tom Winfield as he remembers living in a run-down
apartment with his socially awkward sister, Laura, and his
overbearing mother, Amanda. After being abandoned by
her husband, Amanda constantly reminisces on her past
as a Southern debutante and puts pressure on both of
her children to somehow make a better life for the family.
Amanda obsesses about finding a man for Laura to marry
and discovers her excruciatingly shy daughter’s liking for
a boy named Jim. Tom, who works in a shoe factory to
support the family, feels intensely torn between his desire
for a more fulfilling life and his obligation to take care of
his mother and sister. A story about the unrelenting power
memories hold and the struggle with accepting difficult
realities, The Glass Menagerie is a production that has
mesmerized audiences for decades.

Rent tells the story of a group of impoverished friends
fighting to survive in the East Village of New York City in
the early 1990s. They struggle to pay their rent, create,
achieve success, and find acceptance while enduring
poverty, illness, drug addiction and the AIDS epidemic.
These friends try to live each day with an appreciation
for the relationships they have with each other. Loosely
based on Puccini’s opera La Bohème, with a message that
speaks to the challenge of living in a world determined
to oppress those who are different, Rent, with music and
lyrics written by Jonathan Larson, is the ninth longest
running Broadway show in history, winner of four Tony
Awards and the Pulitzer Prize.

The Trojan Women exposes the exploits of powerful and
often irrational patriarchal forces in the aftermath of the
Trojan War. It follows the dramatic fates of the queen
Hecuba, the proud and noble Andromache, the young and
holy virgin Cassandra, the beautiful and scheming Helen,
and the other women of Troy after their beloved city has
been destroyed, their husbands brutally killed, and their
remaining families about to be taken away as slaves or
worse. Often considered one of Euripides’ greatest works,
