The pressure of graduate school can make one start to feel a little nutty and maybe even hallucinate, especially at the worst times. During her comprehensive exams, theater student Beth finds herself haunted by her own subject matter, in the forms of Hedda Gabler and Miss Julie themselves. Steven Fechter’s thought-provoking dark comedy incorporates these 19th century theater masters to cleverly display the side-effects of poor mentoring, and the folks at U of L’s entirely student-run studio theater program are making it happen in conjunction with SIGS (U of L’s School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies). The show is free and features Billy Flood, Ebony Jordan, Jennifer Levine and Cara McHugh, and is under the direction of Zan Sawyer-Daily. —Jane Mattingly
