Soon to follow in the CSUF season is Tallgrass Gothic by Melanie Marnich. Tallgrass Gothic is directed by James R. Taulli and runs from March 10-April 9, 2017 in the Hallberg Theatre on campus. Tallgrass Gothic is a haunting, explosive play that captures the love, longing, isolation, desire and fear of the classic Jacobean tragedy The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley. Set in the Great Plains of the Midwest, Laura's hunger for a new beginning sets off a violent chain of events that leads her to a profound and terrifying understanding of her true nature. Tallgrass Gothic includes harsh language and content and is "recommended for adults only."
