NKU Theatre and Dance has another show in the works! On Friday, our cast of Titus Andronicus started their rehearsals!

In a fractured America of the distant future, high-tech and deeply divided, power and vengeance collide in a brutal struggle for dominance. Set in Rome, Kansas, this electrifying re-imagining of Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedy exposes the cost of an “eye for an eye” in a world spiraling toward chaos.

Titus Andronicus runs from October 23 to November 1. Tickets go on sale September 8!
