Oakland Dance Theatre and OU Repertory Dance Company will present their annual Fall Showcase from Thursday, Dec. 2 through Sunday, Dec. 5 in the Varner Studio Theatre on the Oakland University campus.
The annual showcase — directed by Thayer Jonutz, Christina Tasco and Elizabeth Riga — will feature a collaboration of faculty and guest artist pieces performed by the talented artists in OU’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance.
“The performance is scheduled to include nine pieces, all very eclectic in style and intent,” said Tasco, a special lecturer in dance and director of Oakland Dance Theatre.
Tickets for the Fall Showcase are $8 for students, $14 for the general public, and can be purchased online at www.etix.com.
“I am overly excited to be back in the theater this semester,” said OU student Tristen Cook. “Being able to participate in so many different works has been a great opportunity to challenge my physicality and broaden my abilities as a performer.”
