Directed by Michael Costello, performances will be Oct. 3-7 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. on the main stage in the Theatre Center on campus.
Considered Tennessee Williams’ last great play, The Night of the Iguana features Shannon, a defrocked Episcopal priest who faces a crisis of faith and descends into the ‘dark night of the soul’ in a cheap hotel in the Mexican tropics.
