Two-Person Show To Perform ‘Nina Variations’

The SHSU department of theatre and dance will present “The Nina Variations,” by Steven Dietz, Wednesday and Thursday (July 6-7), at 8 p.m. both days in the University Theatre Center’s Showcase Theatre.

Loosely based on Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” the play explores the relationship between Treplev and Nina, who, after being apart for two years, receive a blank slate with which to possibly rekindle their relationship.

In more than 40 variations, the two attempt to salvage the remains of their lives together, with each variation providing an opportunity to see all that love has to offer.

The two-person show is directed by senior theatre major Cadien Dumas, and the cast includes senior theatre major James Arrington as Treplev and junior musical theatre major Grace Marie Walton as Nina.

Student Richard Chamblin and Scott McCarrey designed the lights and sound respectively.

Tickets are $5 for general admission, and children under three will not be permitted, as the show contains adult content.

For more information, call 936.294.1339 or 936.294.1329.
