The production is directed by Janice Akers.Set design by Sara Culpepper; light design by Robert Turner; costumes by Sydney Roberts; and sound design by Elizabeth Waldman.Theater Emory's "The Night of the Iguana" opens at the Mary Gray Munroe Theater in the Dobbs University Center on Emory's campus.
