Tonight, Southeastern’s Alpha Psi Omega’s production of “Radium Girls” is taking the stage at the Columbia Theatre in downtown Hammond. The show will run until Saturday, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. Directing the production is Southeastern alumna Ally Holloway. This is her first solo directing credit after recently co-directing “Aladdin! Choose Your Own Arabian Night”.
On Oct. 28, members of Alpha Psi Omega (APO) got together for their second annual 24-hour theatre festival, titled, “Round the Campfire Tales.” APO is a national honor theatre society at Southeastern that conducts various performances throughout the year. The festival featured various short scenes told around a campfire. The plays were written, directed, practiced.
Chad Winters, instructor of theatre, elaborated on the plot of this production.
“The story is adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, allowing our community to experience this ageless story in a new and fresh way. Glyn Maxwell has adapted the story for the stage with some fun twists. Unlike the novella, this stage adaptation has a strong female presence. In the original story Lady Gabrielle Utterson is Gabriel John Utterson, a close loyal friend of Jekyll,” Winters described.
DeJuan James, a senior and elementary education major, was cast as Jekyll. He agreed with Winters on the fun nature of the show.
