Bowling Green State University’s Department of Theatre and Film will present Suzan Zeder’s “When She Had Wings” for two performances only, Thursday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. in the Eva Marie Saint Theatre.
The production is being performed by the BGSU Treehouse Troupe, the department’s Theatre for Youth outreach company. The company tours the production to schools throughout the region, but for these two performances, the show can be seen on the BGSU campus.
“When She Had Wings” is a story about “B”; that’s her name, just “B.” She believes that before she could walk she had the ability to fly and that she must learn to fly again before she turns the dreaded age of 10. She urgently sets out to rediscover this ability just days before her 10th birthday. With the help of her dad, her new friend “A” and her imagination, “B” learns how the things weighing her down can help her soar.
Dr. Cynthia Stroud, an instructor of theatre at BGSU, directs the production. “When She Had Wings” features scenic design by undergraduate student Alli Kulbago, costume design by undergraduate student Bear Kinney and properties by Kelly Mangan. The cast includes Hope Elizabeth Eller, Hannah Hess, Lauren Lash, Alexis Reinbolt and Sophia Walcher. The production is stage managed by undergraduate student, Anna Smith. The play is particularly suitable for children ages 5 to 11 and the young at heart who need to be reminded how to fly.
Performances will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 7 and 2 p.m. Nov. 9 in the Eva Marie Saint Theatre in the Wolfe Center for the Arts. Tickets purchased in advance are $5 for students, $10 for seniors and $15 for other adults. Student tickets are $10 on the day of the performance, all others are $20 on the day of the performance.
