Tickets are now available for the Florida State University School of Theatre's 2024-2025 season, which will feature three musicals and two plays showcasing the artistry and skill of the program's students on stage and behind the scenes.
"The 2024-2025 season truly has something for everyone, and we are so excited to share these stories with our patrons," said Brad Brock, director of the School of Theatre. "Each production offers incredible learning opportunities for our students, as well as world-class entertainment for our community."
The School of Theatre will kick the season off Oct. 18 with the classic Tony-nominated musical comedy "Once Upon a Mattress," directed by Christine Hansen (MFA 2018).
"I'm so excited to be directing for the School of Theatre again," Hansen said. "They've put together a dream team of designers, musical directors, choreographer and stage managers for me to work with. Together, with what I know will be an amazingly talented and creative cast, we are going to make a joyously enchanted version of the princess and the pea story. 'Once Upon a Mattress' is going to be fun from start to finish!"
From Nov. 1-10 in the Lab Theatre, the school will present Sarah DeLappe's Pulitzer-nominated play "The Wolves," a coming-of-age story focused on a suburban girls' soccer team.
This season's annual Theatre for Young Audiences production, showing Nov. 21-24, is "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience." This family-friendly musical is based on the hit children's book by Mo Willems, "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" and features rock music and a cast of quirky characters.
In Spring 2025, the school will present the comedy musical "Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein" and Karen Zacarias' award-winning play "The Sins of Sor Juana," inspired by the real-life story of 17th-century Latin-American poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.
