Friday debuts the next School of Theatre and Dance production, the play “Machinal.”
“Machinal,” written by Sophie Treadwell and directed by Alexander Gelman, tells the true story of Ruth Snyder, a woman who was declared guilty of killing her husband. This is an intriguing theme with the dark reality of executions in 1928 – via the electric chair.
The first performance is at 7:30 p.m. Friday. NIU SOTD will host the play in the Black Box Theatre in the Stevens Building.
Tickets are available online and free for NIU students, $12 for non-niu students, $18 for seniors 65 and over and NIU staff, and $20 for the general public.
