I have been extremely fortunate to share this idea and this time with these particular people. The actors and technicians that are working on this show are a diverse group, made up of artists, writers, film students as well as theater students. Their creativity and sensitivity to this production is evident in the final product. Machinal was staged at Meramec last November. Encore performances will be 8 p.m. April 19-21 in the Meramec Theater.
All performances are free and open to the public.
