FAIRVIEW: The WCSU Theatre Department will be performing “Fairview” from 8 to 10:30 p.m. in the Studio Theatre in the Visual and Performing Arts Center.

About the show:

At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandma’s birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister can’t be bothered to help, her husband doesn’t seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place…! FAIRVIEW is a searing examination of families, drama, family dramas, and the insidiousness of white supremacy.

Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize. “…dazzling and ruthless…one of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years…FAIRVIEW is a series of perspective-altering surprises, and they keep coming at you even when you think [Drury] must surely have emptied [her] bag of tricks…a glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theater to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake.” —The New York Times.
