“Greetings From Karen Springs!” Drama Opens Thursday University Theatre Admission: Free Feb. 20-March 1 Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 7:30-9:30 p.m.
This new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s classic, “An Enemy of the People,” is set in a Texas suburb called Karen Springs and explores a local environmental crisis through a mix of personalities—a doctor, a teacher, a mayor, reporters, business owners and everyday residents—all tangled in questions of truth, justice, friendship and loyalty. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, the cast confronts the real question: “Who is the true enemy of the people?”
In conjunction with UT Dallas’ SP/N Gallery exhibition, “The Light in Between: Photographs by Alan Govenar,” a panel comprised of photography professionals in the field will address the subject of documentary photographic practice. The discussion will be moderated by UT Dalas professor Marilyn Waligore and will include Govenar along with Christopher Blay, Director of Public Programs at the National Juneteenth Museum in Fort Worth; Dr. Diane Durant, Photography Faculty at UT Dallas; and Sarah Meister, Executive Director at Aperture (nonprofit publisher).
