If you’re hungry for food this week, there’s good eatin’ available. And if you’re hungry for anything arts related — music, theater and the like — you’re covered there as well.
March 12-15
University of Idaho actors will take the stage in a gothic mystery, “The Moors” by Jen Silverman, which opens at 7:30 p.m. March 12 in the Hartung Theater on the Moscow campus.
The play also will be staged at 7:30 p.m. March 13-14, and 2 p.m. March 14-15. It features two sisters and a maid who live a desolate existence on the bleak moors. Guarding their house is a giant mastiff who strikes up a relationship with a hapless moorhen. Things begin to unravel with the arrival of a governess, according to a news release, taking all the characters down a dangerous path of love and desperation.
Students from this region in the cast include Aidan Leonard of Lewiston and Grace McGreevy of Moscow.
The production is directed by Lennie Dean of Santa Rosa, Calif., a guest director who is on the UI campus for a semester to direct and teach an acting class. She has been involved in the Sonoma County theater scene in California for 40 years.
