Here's a snippet of what students are saying about the show:
"For this correspondent, seeing “The Masque of Night,” was unlike any other theatre experience. The quaint setting combined with the ability of the performers to connect with the diverse audience transformed my experience from being the typical disinterested observer to being truly immersed in the story. It was also clear that much of the audience was captivated by the story based on the overall energy in the room and the vigorous applause.

UA Students Mia Cunningham and Daniyah Brooks attended opening night after hearing about the event from their Experiencing Theatre class. Cunningham was particularly moved by the actors’ ability to reach the crowd. “The air was thick with emotion,” she said. Brooks found the sound environment impactful to her experience, making her feel as if she was in Juliet’s castle."

A genuine off-Broadway experience comes to campus straight from NYC in “The Masque of Night,” a cabaret-style reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that features movement, dance and contemporary music including songs of David Bowie, Depeche Mode, and Rufus Wainwright. The show opened i...
