Six Characters in Search of an Author Six Characters in Search of an Author

Adapted by David A. Miller from the play by Luigi Pirandello
A Co-Production with Bloomsburg University Players
February 23rd - March 12th, 2023

MA - For Mature Audiences: Topic

Six characters, abandoned by their playwright, interrupt a theatre company's rehearsal in the hopes of finally telling the story they each carry within them. This absurdist work once caused a riot when it was first performed! Weaving together the talents of the Resident Acting Company and Theatre students from Bloomsburg University, this new adaptation asks the question: "Who decides what stories are told and by whom?"

This show contains mature content that may be uncomfortable for some audience members, including discussions of grooming and coercion, gun violence, and suicide. The production includes the use of a prop gun and sound effect. No explicit action is depicted onstage.
