Each spring, senior theatre students work
collaboratively to bring a play to the Cabe Theatre stage in partial
fulfillment of their degree requirements. The seniors are mentored by faculty
and staff and are supported by many other students. The 2025 graduating theatre majors and their
roles for the production are: Katie Baker, director, costume designer, and sound
designer; and Lovey Krone, stage manager, scenic designer, and lighting designer.
Chair of Theatre Arts and Dance Antonio Horne
said, “This culminating experience for our seniors is quite rigorous. It is
their opportunity to demonstrate all of the skills they have acquired during
their time at Hendrix College.” In addition to putting their creative and
analytical talents to use, the students also get to refine other skills highly
valued by employers - communication, collaboration, leadership, inclusivity,
and professionalism.
“Up, Down, Strange, Charmed, Beauty, and
Truth” is a story about members of a family struggling to balance their
individual needs and desires with those of the whole. The cast features Bella
Kerby as Marley and Ivy Branum as Steph – teen sisters who are seeking help
from their uncle Danny, played by Jake Nurkin.
The play is performed in one act without intermission.
This show is recommended for audience members ages 15 and older due to adult
language, alcoholism, violence, themes of homophobia, and mention of drugs included
in this production. For additional information, call 501-450-1343.
