Hastings College Theatre is hosting a live outdoor production for its last show of the 2020-21 academic year. “The Terrible Infants” by Oliver Lansley and Samuel Wyer directed by Sarah Nottage-Tacey will be held at the Chautauqua Park Pavillion (West 5th Street) on April 29, 30 and May 1 at 7:30 p.m. and on May 2 at 2:30 p.m.
Performances are free and open to the public. Seating is limited and will be based on a first come, first serve basis. For those in attendance, face masks are required.
“The Terrible Infants” is based on a series of twisted tales and blends puppetry, performance and dark storytelling into a sensory theatrical experience suited for big kids and small grown-ups. “The Terrible Infants” dazzles with puppets made by the Hastings College puppetry class, while the high energy performance by the cast is sure to pull the audience in with its whimsy and irreverence. This is the first — and only — in person production of the year for Hastings College Theatre.
Tickets are also available for the second senior capstone production, “You Do Love Me,… Don’t You?” by Claire Demmer. It is showing via Zoom April 23 and 24 at 7:00 p.m. To receive a link for that show, email tickets@hastings.edu.
