The School of Theatre and Dance presents Equus by Peter Shaffer, directed by Dr. Jimmy Chrismon.

SYNOPSIS:

Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy’s parents, it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart, it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation.

Equus contains nudity, violence, and mature themes.

Equus will be a PHONE-FREE EVENT. You will be asked to put your phone on silent and place it in a Yondr Pouch. Your phone will be safely locked in the Pouch and you will hold onto it for the duration of the performance. Guests who need to use their phone during the performance must leave the theatre to open the Pouch in the Lobby. Otherwise, it will be opened at the end of the performance. By purchasing a ticket for Equus, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. Any patron seen using technology in the space will be asked to leave the performance with no refunds.
