IMMEDIATE THEATRE is a production of several short plays, each directed by an emerging artist in the SLU Theatre & Dance Program. It is the culmination of the Program’s advanced directing course. Under the mentorship of the faculty and staff, each advanced directing student selects, casts, and stages an entire play. The students engage with a full production team and with one another to present their fully realized works in repertory within a single production. The result is daring, exuberant, and collaborative.
Student directors include Lorelei Beck, James Bryce, Brendan Gilchrist, David Joseph, Ava Kasten, Madelyn Purcell, and Lottie Wheeler. The overall production is led by Associate Professor Lucy Cashion and is sponsored by Marianne Muellerleile.
The cast includes Ashley Brooks, Uju Emedo, Levi Galligher, Nichole Goebel, Nathan Koons, Emma Lyons, Billy Murphy, Damian Sapp, Anna Soeder, and Naiyah Taylor.
Free tickets are available for SLU students at the door beginning one hour before each performance. General admission tickets are available through
Metrotix and at the door.
Complimentary parking is available in the Queens Daughters Hall lot behind Xavier Hall, located at 3730 Lindell Blvd.
