Based on true events, this live presentation imagines life on both sides of the Berlin Wall. Eight actors, members of the MFA Professional Actor Training Program, perform original short scenes that explore life before and after the fall of the wall.
The performances are in the Helms Theatre in the Drama Building and will run Tuesday, November 4 at 8:00 p.m., Friday, November 7 at 5:00 p.m., and Sunday November 9 at 4:00 p.m. There is no charge for admission, but please plan to arrive early as seating is limited. Free parking is available in the parking garage adjacent to the building.
