July 7, 2021 April, like most months during the pandemic, is relatively light on noteworthy media releases. The film, television and video game industries are still slowly recovering and adapting to the ongoing pandemic, even over a year since it began. Picking up the slack this month is UAA’s own Department of Theatre & Dance, debuting two productions, viewable from the safety of home. At or around UAA The UAA Department of Theatre & Dance will be debuting both a dance and a theatre production this month. Both will be made available for a limited time to view as recorded and edited shows, via streaming. The theatre production will be Sophie Treadwell’s “Machinal,” which loosely adapts the story of Ruth Snyder, a woman executed for the murder of her husband. The dance production is set to premiere Apr. 9, while “Machinal” will premiere Apr. 16. Attending these shows is a great way to show support and demand for Theatre and Dance at UAA. Further information will be available on the UAA Department of Theatre and Dance Facebook page.
