Arcadia Poster

Directed by Elliot Wasserman, Arcadia takes us back and forth between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, telling the story of the lives of the Coverly family in Derbyshire, England. Tom Stoppard examines Mathematics, romance, Lord Byron and other ideas and feelings contributing to the goings-on in the past, as two academics attempt to unravel them in the present.

Wasserman will be joined by a design team including ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï faculty members Shan Jensen as costume designer and Paul Weimer as scenic designer, ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï student Nick Smith as lighting designer and facilities coordinator Kevin Gray as sound designer and music composer. ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï and New Harmony Theatre would also like to welcome back Brittany K. Giles-Jones, member of Actors' Equity Association, as production stage manager.

The cast includes professional Actors' Equity Association members Melissa Carlile-Price as Hannah Jarvis and Richard Price as Bernard Nightingale. They are accompanied by ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students Katie Jones, Cameron Ward, Noah Blaise Theriac, Nolan Spinks, Aaron Nulton, Morgan Book, Luke Bockelman, Aimee Grace, Collin Culiver, Samuel Dawson, Tamarea Kramer and Brock Murray.

Tickets are $12 for ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students, $18 for adults, $15 for ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï employees and $16 for seniors (60+) and non-ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Students. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. for the Sunday matinee. To purchase tickets or for more information visit or call the box office at 812-465-1668.
