Every year Lindenwood University hosts entertaining and interesting theatre plays at J. Scheidegger Center for The Arts. The theatre season successfully started off in September with “Fun Home” and “Fall Play Fest.”

Here’s a list of upcoming theatre plays for the 2021-22 season.

You on the Moors, Now

When: Oct. 28-30 at 7:30 p.m.

Where: J. Scheidegger Theatre

By: Jaclyn Backhaus

Description: Four “heroines” of the nineteenth century break stereotypes of conventionalist society when they turn down marriage proposals from their equally famous gentlemen. This causes an outburst of anger, love, grief, and bloodshed. The play doesn’t argue against the traditional path of life but shows that marriage is just one of many world possibilities. The definition and meaning of love are turned upside down in this grand theatrical battle royale.

Description: Esther, a black seamstress living in New York City, sews intimate apparel for clients ranging from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Being lonely and longing for a husband, Esther starts receiving letters from a lonesome Caribbean man George. While being close to George, Esther’s heart belongs to another man but their relationship seems impossible. When Esther consents to marry George and meets him in person, he turns out not to be the man his letters painted him to be.

Dead Man’s Cell Phone

When: Feb. 16-19 at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 19 at 2 p.m.

Where: J. Scheidegger Theatre

By: Sarah Ruhl

Description: Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a wildly imaginative comedy. The play starts with a ringing phone, in a quiet café, a stranger, and a dead man. It is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her assumptions about morality and redemption. “Satire is her oxygen […] In her new oddball comedy, Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how we behave.” – The Washington Post
