VCU Alumni Kevin Duvall and his company Theatre LuDu present Irvinville, a new play which follows a town terrorized by an escaped circus elephant, and the generational fallout that comes as a result of its execution. Weaving the fantastic seamlessly within a collage of our nation’s greatest blunders, the line between history and legend is blurred.
Using fireside storytelling traditions, Irvinville becomes a modern American myth of ridiculous proportions, daring the audience to question their complicity in their own destruction.
Written and performed by Lucius Robinson and Kevin Duvall, and using no technical elements whatsoever, Irvinville explores how we use performance to reflect upon our shared past, and reveal how we become the stories we tell.
Performance is March 28th at 7:30 PM, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, in the
Newdick Theatre at the Shafer Street Playhouse.
Admission: Free and open to the public.
