BONUS: See the inaugural production of the Voices Included for People of Color (VIP) Theatre Company: Through Saturday, April 30

Marquette Theatre presents Loy A. Webb’s “The Light,” the inaugural production in its Voices Included for People of Color (VIP) Theatre company, through Saturday, April 30 at the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre, 525 N. 13th St.

The VIP Theatre company directly serves people of color and minoritized individuals who self-identify as theater creators in all areas of theater. Led by director Marti Gobel and assistant director Malaina Moore, the entire production crew for “The Light” comprises people of color.

“The Light” introduces audiences to Rashad and Genesis on what should be one of the happiest days of their lives, but their joy quickly unravels when ground-shifting accusations from the past resurface.

Tickets prices range from $12 for students up to $25 for general audience and are available for purchase online through Marquette Theatre’s online box office service.

For more information, call the Helfaer Theatre Box Office at (414) 288-7504 or visit the Helfaer Theatre Box Office website.
