In the Spotlight
The 2013-14 Purdue Theatre season will tell lively stories about love, relationships, and the power of human attraction set against the backdrops of fascinating historical settings. "Purdue Theatre is proud to present a truly exciting season that chronicles the emotional aspects of the human condition," says Joel Ebarb, chair and associate professor in the Department of Theatre. "In these plays, love, passion and courage stand alongside fear, anger and hate; they celebrate all the highs and lows of personal relationships. There is truly something for everyone this season at Purdue Theatre."
