COVID-19 has put almost everything on pause this past year and a half. This semester, we are happy to announce that Sinclair’s Theatre Department is continuing to have in-person performances.
They will be putting on two shows this semester; these include “She Kills Monsters” and an annual holiday show, “A Charlie Brown Christmas Special.”
“She Kills Monsters,” written by Qui Nguyen and directed by Chris Harmon, is a comedy that takes the audience into a world of fantasy role-playing games. The story tells of a girl who leaves her home in Ohio after the death of her sister. After discovering her sister’s Dungeon and Dragons notebook, she is transferred to a place full of adventure and action.
Audiences can catch this performance in Blair Hall Theatre located in Building 2 on Oct. 8 through the 16. Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.
The “Charlie Brown Christmas Special” in December is turning into an annual tradition; this is the seventh time Sinclair is putting on this show.
“It is an exciting time, COVID is still around but we are doing everything in our power to keep the opportunity for our students and patrons strong,” said Patti Celek, the Theatre Departments Marketing Manager. “Performing or being involved in a show is a very integral part of our student education.”
Sinclair has not only one but two theatres on campus. The main one is Blair Hall Theatre. There is also the Black Box Theatre which Celek says provides more of an “intimate” show. Both shows this semester will be held at Blair Hall which has more seating and can allow for social distancing.
If you are looking to study theatre, it is a two-year Associate’s Degree and provides hands-on experience with both performance and technology, such as stage lighting and design. For more information or to buy tickets visit sinclair.edu/tickets.
