Stetson University Theatre Arts is concluding its 117 season with Erin Courtney’s A Map of Virtue which runs March 30, 31 and April 1 at 8 p.m. & April 2 at 3 p.m.
What begins as a romantic “missed moments” relationship between two strangers, quickly devolves into a kidnapping and dangerous night in the middle of the woods. It’s an odd journey, but luckily there’s a poetic meadowlark statue to lead them on their way.
“Their experience is traumatizing, but it asks how we perceive the truth through trauma”, says director, Rachel Terhune. “What is real? A Map of Virtue touches on obsession, loss, pain and occasionally love. This play is strangely paced, chaotic, terrifying and narrated by a poem-spouting bird statue. It’s everything you could ever want for a night out at the theater.”
Mixing drama, comedy and thriller genres, A Map of Virtue dives deep into the nuances of the human condition and how carrying the haunting trauma of our past slowly consumes us until we learn to deal with it.
The cast of A Map of Virtue includes Hailey Jones as The Bird Statue, Joshua Dennis as Mark, Hanna Swidler as Sarah, Aaron Johnson as Nate, Clinton McChesney as Victor, with Delicia Bent as June, and Hugh Kiser as Ray.
Performances will occur at Stetson University’s Second Stage Theatre located at 600 N. Woodland Blvd, DeLand, FL, 32820 inside the DeLand Museum of Art.
