Twelve Howard University Department of Theatre Arts students will star in a free staged reading of “Death and the King’s Horseman” by Wole Soyinka taking place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at the Michael R. Klein Theatre at the Lansburgh.
Over the past two years, Shakespeare Theatre Company has worked alongside Howard University Department of Theatre Arts for a series of events, showcases and experiences. The partnership aims to deepen these community connections and engage with new talent that will shape the future of theater. Within this two-semester course with Shakespeare Theatre Company, students explore a classic play and find ways to expand the term “classic” while learning how a major classical theater operates. This staged reading is the culmination of their work over the last two semesters.
