Mercyhurst Theatre Program

The Mercyhurst Theatre Program is proud to announce the return of its professional summer theatre program with Tom Andolora's The Spoon River Project, Aug. 14–16 in Taylor Little Theatre.

Based on Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology," this haunting play invites audiences into a lantern-lit vigil where the former residents of Spoon River reflect on the dreams, secrets, triumphs, and regrets that shaped their lives. Together, their stories create a powerful portrait of a community—and a reminder of the importance of listening, remembering, and bearing witness.

The production features fourteen Mercyhurst students and alumni: Connor Clark, Abby Craig, Michael Harper, Rachele Heasley, Owen Hitt, Rosie Pregler Hitt, Ermin Hucic, Kat Kanazin, Johnathon Morvay, Braden Rosciszewski, Tessa Sayre, Tori St. John-Gilbert, Bethany Sulecki, and Jenna Wager.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, July 14, at noon.

One of Broadway's brightest stars is coming to Mercyhurst.

Tony and GRAMMY Award-winning, three-time Emmy Award-nominated actress Renée Elise Goldsberry, who originated the role of Angelica Schuyler in "Hamilton," brings her powerhouse vocals to the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center on Sept. 30.
