University Theatre to Introduce Original Play

University of the Ozarks Theatre will present the world debut of "Tingum in Da Bush Ean Get No Name," for a six-performance, two-weekend run - April 11-13 and April 18-20.

The original play was written and will be directed by U of O alumnus and adjunct instructor Petron Brown '21. It will be shown at 7 p.m. in the Walton Fine Arts Center. The play contains violent content and is not suitable for children under the age of 13.

Tickets are $10 for the general public and can be purchased HERE. Tickets for U of O students, faculty and staff are free for those presenting a University ID.

Brown is a 2021 U of O theatre and environmental studies graduate from Nassau, The Bahamas. He is completing an MFA in theatre from the University of Southern Mississippi while serving as an adjunct at Ozarks in the theatre department this semester.

Brown called "Tingum in Da Bush Ean Get No Name" a play about "belief and what it means when the foundations of the things we hold onto start to shift beneath our feet."

"To who or what do we turn?" Brown said. "I try to stray away from breaking down the plot because the mystery of the play is the impetus that drives the story and our experience of the story. Everyone should come see it at least twice. Trust me, you'll have totally different experiences."
