This fall the ACU Theatre presents a featured Cornerstone Production directed by Adam Hester. A cast of ACU students will perform Next to Normal November 19-23 at 7:30 p.m. in Fulks Theatre, including a talk-back discussion with the actors and director each evening following the musical.
This inventive, emotional powerhouse (winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) captures the tender, insightful, funny and heart-breaking portrayal of a family trying bravely to come to terms with life and love and loss. With a thrilling contemporary score, this multiple Tony Award-winner breaks new ground as it redefines the American musical.
