Lincoln, Neb.--Theatrix, a student-run theatre company within the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, will conclude its Fall season with "Mary's Wedding" by Stephen Massicotte.

Dustin Mosko, a second-year MFA directing student and Theatrix’s artistic director, will be directing the play.

Performances are Dec. 3-5 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. in the Lab Theatre on the third floor of the Temple Building. Tickets are $6 and are available at go.unl.edu/theatretix one hour prior to the performance. Tickets will be sold at the door on a cash-only basis, but availability at the door is not guaranteed.

It is the night before Mary Chalmers’ (Emma Fisher) wedding and what can a bride-to-be do but dream? Mary takes us through her dreams of the past, the future, and those she’s left behind.

When Charlie Edwards (Michael Barth) enters, we, along with Mary, fall in love. But it is WWI, and changing tides stir nightmares and heartbreak. "Mary’s Wedding" is a play about “a young woman’s dream about an ideal love and her unending devotion to mend a relationship broken by war,” says Mosko. “It is a beautifully written play that breaks and reconstructs my heart every time I read or hear it.”

The production is designed by Lexi Bass (video), Jack Rodenburg (sound), Sheric Hull (lighting), Haley Williams (costumes), and Dustin Mosko (scenic). Kayleigh Kullmann is the stage manager.
