UW-La Crosse Campus
From the theatre company that brought you Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead, the Happy Rain Theatre Company presents Impassioned Embraces: Pieces of Love and Theatre, written by John Pielmeier.
Impassioned Embraces is an episodic play based on the idea of creation of the theatre process itself. This set of scenes takes you on a journey of social issues, secrets, and love. Interwoven with scenes are monologues teaching us to be an intelligent performer, through more importantly connecting the ideals of great acting to becoming a well-rounded human being in general. The episodes rage from intensely dramatic, ridiculously absurd, to laugh-out-loud farcical material. This promises to be an incredible show.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets will be on sale at the door 30 minutes before the start of every show. Cash and checks only please. This show contains explicit language and some adult themes.
