Good day on this cloudy Thursday.
The MSU Department of Theatre explores themes of postmodernist philosophy through movement in “The December Project,” a thought-provoking piece.
Created by Kellyn Uhl, instructor of musical theater and dance who choreographed MSU’s production of “Hair,” “The December Project” is a collaboratively created piece that incorporates elements of dance and theater to comment on ideas of postmodernism.
Read more about the project in City Pulse's article here.
Sunday’s performance will feature a pre-show performance at 1:15 p.m., and Thursday’s performance will feature a post-show discussion.
