Can you ever go home again? It’s been twenty years since Peter and Kari stared at each other from across the dance floor of the old pavilion. Navigating through a sea of friends at their high school reunion (all played by a single omniscient Narrator), they make the painful journey to rediscover each other and what time may yet have in store for them. Often hailed as the Our Town of our day, The Pavilion is an award-winning chamber drama full with poetry, humor, depth and romance.

Free parking is available on the street nearby, as well as at Kenneth's Hair Salon (just south of the theater) and the Hyde Park Church of Christ (on the northeast corner of 43rd & Avenue B). Snacks and drinks will be available at the ticket counter.

This production would not be possible without our season sponsor: Minuteman Press of Round Rock.

Recent Tragic Events

March 3-5 & 8 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 6 at 11 p.m.
St. Edward's University, in front of Trustee Hall (click for campus map).

It is September 12th, 2001; the setting is the Minneapolis apartment of Waverly, a young advertising executive. Soon to venture on a blind date amidst the television news coverage of the September 11th attacks, Waverly becomes preoccupied when she discovers that her twin sister, Wendy, a student in New York, has not been heard from. Waverly reassures herself that Wendy had no reason to be at the World Trade Center. As the evening unfolds, Waverly and her blind date, Andrew, an airport bookstore manager, realize that they are connected by a succession of bizarre coincidences. As Waverly awaits word on Wendy, the date is complicated by visits from her crazed-musician neighbor, Ron, and his girlfriend, Nancy, and a startling visit from Waverly’s great aunt, Joyce Carol Oates—played by a sock puppet. Recommended for adult audiences only.

Recent Tragic Events marks the directorial debut of Chad Duda. Assistant director and stage manager is Kiara Smith. The cast consists of Jacqueline Harper and Sam Buckner and features the performance debuts of Alex Benson, Kendra Perez, and Meredith Montgomery.

SEU's Transit Theatre Troupe is an award-winning student organization dedicated to supporting a variety of charitable organizations through theatrical performances.

In accordance with Transit Theatre Troupe’s mission statement, this production will be free and all proceeds (in the form of donations) will be sent to the Haiti Relief Fund, to assist the nation in their recovery from recent tragic events.
