13 upcoming events with the ball state theatre and dance tag

Directed by Veronica Santoyo

Original Dramaturgy by Diana Grisanti

February 6-8, 13-14 at 7:30 p.m. | February 14 at 2:30 p.m. | Oakwood 154

It's the day of The Big Game, and the citizenry is aflutter. The football bros are hungry for blood, the ESL kids are hungry for knowledge, and the hunger strikers are just hungry. Meanwhile, Nubu, a newcomer to our world, considers the meaning of life. When the The Big Game gets cancelled, a group of intrepid weirdos decides to throw an epic DIY costume party—a ball! Balls Balls Balls is a strange and exuberant new work that asks, “Can you imagine a world where we all make bread and break bread together?”

Written by award-winning playwright Alice Tuan, Balls Balls Balls was commissioned by the Ball State Department of Theatre and Dance. We’ll present the script as an on-book reading with choreography. No play is complete without an audience, so we invite you—yes, you!—to participate in the developmental process. Each performance will be followed by a talkback with the playwright and production team. Come take part in the future of American theatre!

February 19-22, 24-26 at 7:30 p.m. | February 21 at 2:30 p.m. | AR217 Recital Hall

Following a violent coup, a young woman named Chelsea is crowned Queen of North America. In the midst of her newfound reign, three friends from middle school (whom she hasn’t spoken to in years) walk into her new palace to ask Chelsea for a big favor. But before she grants it, she’s going to make them reminisce and “embrace the nostalgia” by revisiting their shared friendship and its horrific ending.

Veal was developed and had its world premiere at A Red Orchid Theatre in Chicago

Kirsten Fitzgerald Artistic Director, Audrey Billings Managing Director
