OCU’s final Out of the Box show, Sight Unseen, is scheduled to run in the Norick Art Center at the end of this semester.
Drew Feldman, acting senior, is directing the show. The show will be in the Norick Art Center because of the play’s unique relationship to art.
The play, by Donald Marguiles, is the story of superstar Jewish painter, Jonathan Waxman as he reconnects with his former lover. The play questions the relationships of art, money, love and inspiration.
“There’s something within the relationships in the play that really struck me,” Feldman said.
Feldman and assistant director Valerie Sharp cast the show and began rehearsals at the beginning of April. Sharp is also painting for the show and some of her artwork will be included in the performance. Sharp paints during rehearsals to draw inspiration from the cast.
Feldman has also enlisted the talents of Davis Good, music composition senior, to compose the music for the show.
“It has been truly a collaboration…the best idea wins, and it doesn’t matter whose idea it is,” Feldman said.
Nick Jiminez, acting junior, enjoys being a part of student-directed shows.
“I like these shows because everyone’s hungry,” Jiminez said. “Everyone’s passionate because the directors had to fight for these shows.”
The show will preview May 2 and show May 3 and 4, though show times are still undecided. Admission is free.
