Lecture Description
In Mud Nostalgia, Ohio playwright Mark Evans Bryan blends humor, mountain music, and documentary film about snake handlers to tell the story of a woman struggling to understand love and faith, even as she is betrayed by both. Actor, director, professor, and provost Sue Ott Rowlands will blend parts of this deeply spiritual one-act play as she steps in and out of character to talk about the power of the theater to raise awareness of social issues. Ms. Ott Rowlands, who collaborated with Bryan on the play, will discuss how the idea of it was born and nurtured and how it has been received in performances around the world.
