Come Forth into the Light of Things: A Year of Happy Poems
7:07 pm
April 20-22, 2023
Will Rogers Auditorium

In a time full of discord and difficulties, it is often hard to find even the teeniest of laughs in this world. To help alleviate the stress of contemporary problems, the RSU Theatre Program presents a short evening of “happy poems,” poems that expound on things that are good and kind and wonderful. The poems come in a variety of shapes and sizes and offer the audience a respite from stress and strife.

“The performance in April celebrates poetry month,” Blakely said. “Beyond that, it celebrates good things, happy things, things we’re in sore need of celebrating. The RSU Theatre Program will be creating it during rehearsal.

“The title, ‘Come Forth into the Light of Things,’ comes from a William Wordsworth poem, ‘The Tables Turned,’ which suggests you should leave your books behind and explore the wisdom and truth of the natural world – an odd thing for a writer to suggest and even odder for a university to endorse,” he continued. “The poems should be happy, funny, witty, and exuberant – a variety show of poetry. I have chosen poems to give us a starting point, but the cast will be encouraged to bring in poems – some found, perhaps some written by the cast themselves. Rehearsals will be an act of creation of the script and the shape of the production.”

Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students, faculty and staff. Tickets will be available at the door.
