Do you want to step into a world of mysticism? A world full of love, sex, humanity, and time travel? This semester, the PAC is sharing their version of the stage adaptation of Orlando by Virginia Woolf, adapted by Sarah Ruhl, and directed by Le Moyne’s very own Maya Dwyer.
The story showcases a young nobleman, Orlando, played by Amiri Kirkland, ‘26. Orlando becomes involved in multiple love affairs — with Queen Elizabeth I, a Russian princess, and an overbearing Archduchess (just to name a few). The royal life is interesting for a while; however, Orlando is longing for something more. He starts exploring his life as a poet and a lover, traveling to stay inspired. The changing of genders and preferences shifts often, making this show both full of witty humor and a thoughtful reflection on humanity.
The cast has been hard at work over the past few months, and can’t wait to share this show with the Le Moyne community! This show is definitely one for the books; the cast is undoubtedly talented, the sets are beautiful, and the lighting has been carefully curated. So be sure to come see this fantastic adaptation of Orlando!
Performances are on February 23rd-24th, 29th, and March 1st-2nd at 8 p.m., with a matinee March 2nd at 2 p.m. at the Jesuit Theater in the PAC. Tickets are available at the box office or online.
