Our medieval acting troupe of Illinois students, faculty, staff, and alumni will participate in an epic production of the Corpus Christi Cycle at the University of Toronto on June 7th. Performed annually in the English city of York from the 13th to the 16th centuries, this was a staging of Biblical history from Creation to the Last Judgment performed by 50 civic guilds over the course of one long summer day, beginning at dawn and ending at midnight.
Join us on Sunday, June 1st as we present two full dress rehearsals of our two assigned plays -- The Entry into Jerusalem and The Road to Calvary -- back-to-back at 3:00 and again 5:00 pm on the walkway between the English Building and Henry Administration Building. Bring a lawn chair! Bring snacks! ALL WELCOME!
