OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY BASS SCHOOL OF MUSIC | SCHOOL OF THEATRE 2022-2023 SEASON

WELCOME!

On behalf of the students, alumni, faculty and staff of the School of Theatre and Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University, thank you for being part of our 2022-23 season of thought-provoking works, acclaimed guest artists and extraordinary performances.

These past two years have illuminated how vital it is to use creativity to connect with others. Conveying ideas and emotions, telling stories, and celebrating shared experiences on stage help strengthen the bonds of interconnectivity.

In that spirit, we dedicate this season to two longtime friends who dedicated time, talent and treasure to share their passion for music and love of the fine and performing arts: Dick Sias (1927-2022) and Josephine “Josie” Freede (1927-2020).

With Jeannette Joullian Sias (1932-2014), his wife of 54 years, Mr. Sias was honored with OCU’s Servant Leader Award. His generosity helped sustain and improve the status of arts and education in Oklahoma and his home state of Kansas. The philanthropic projects of the Siases’ family foundation, Ad Astra, continue as their legacy.

Mrs. Freede’s work as a civic volunteer, fundraiser and philanthropist made possible Oklahoma City University’s Henry J. Freede Wellness and Activity Center and the Freede Little Theatre at the Civic Center Music Hall. Her work has inspired a generation and been honored with numerous awards and recognitions, including two honorary doctoral degrees.

The Siases and Mrs. Freede worked together to leave this world a better place by sharing their love of the arts. We are grateful to have known them and strive to do the same.

We dedicate our 2022-23 season to their memory.

Sincerely,

MAINSTAGE SEASON

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG

This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines) this riotous farce proves the adage that whatever can go wrong… usually does!

SHE KILLS MONSTERS

She Kills Monsters is a comedy-drama by Qui Nguyen that tells the story of Agnes Evans, an average woman who loses her parents and little sister Tilly in a car accident. Having been very distant from her sister while she was alive, Agnes embarks in an adventure to get to know her sister better by playing a Dungeons and Dragons module that Tilly had written and discovers things she’d never imagined. The plot takes place both in reality and in the imaginary game world; in the game world Agnes learns about Tilly’s exploration with her sexuality and how she struggled with her sexuality in reality.

MACHINAL

A notable work of early American Theatrical expressionism. Written and set in NYC during the Prohibition Era, the play loosely follows the real-life story of the trial of Ruth Snyder, who killed her husband in the 1920’s. The story traces the life and downfall of a young woman navigating the twisting corridors of mental illness in an increasingly mechanized world.

30

2, 2023

William Shakespeare’s beloved early comedy, that tells the story of four lovers and a bunch of rustic clowns, who leave the strict confines of Athens for the woods, and are magically transformed, while being challenged and taught lessons by the tricky fairy Puck and his King and Queen, Oberon and Titania.
