In the Spotlight

Small Step production

Don't Miss It!

Maybe going to the moon wasn’t crazy, but the space race was very intense and more than a little frenetic. In the play “One Small Step,” two actors play a broad range of historical characters to reveal, with a humorous touch, not only the story but also the reaches of human creativity, ambition and knowledge. The show will have five performances at Purdue, sharing the week with exhibitions and the opening of a new Purdue Theatre production, “Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberly.” Live theatre is scintillating. Don’t Miss It!
