INDIANAPOLIS — Shakespeare first brought Jim Ream to the University of Indianapolis, and four decades into his parallel careers in higher education and professional scenery and lighting design, Shakespeare is bringing him back to the stage.
Ream, associates professor and past chair of the UIndy Department of Theatre, will share the spotlight with many of his current and former students as the university presents an alumni-packed production of King Lear, one of the Western world’s great theatrical tragedies.
Performances are at 8 p.m. Oct. 23-24 and 29-31, with a free preview at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, and a matinee at 2 p.m. Oct. 25. Admission is $12 for the general public and $10 for alumni, senior citizens, groups of eight or more, and non-UIndy students with ID. Tickets may be reserved at www.uindy.edu/arts/ETC or (317) 788-3251.
The cast of 21 also features nine UIndy alumni and former students, making the production a sort of homecoming for the Theatre program.
Ransburg Auditorium, University of Indianapolis is located at 1400 E. Hanna Ave.
