A cast of more than 30 performers will deliver “STRIKE! A Musical and Dramatic Revue”
March 21-30 in the Salisbury Theatre on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Troth Yeddha’
Campus.
The production explores the oppression and perseverance of the working class through
song and drama. It weaves together contemporary musicals, traditional protest songs
and dramatic works by playwrights such as Clifford Odets, Langston Hughes and Diane
Benson.
The event is presented by the UAF Department of Theatre and Film. Flyn Ludington,
an adjunct faculty member in the department, devised the revue, and she will direct
its production. Phillip Heilbron of Fairbanks arranged the music and will conduct
it.
Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. from
March 21-30.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors, military members and UAF employees.
