Central College’s theatre program will present an all-student-produced play, “A Body of Water,” by Lee Blessing this Thursday through Sunday. 

Seniors Brooklyn Cassens, Amelia Brown, and Emily Shields will direct the performance with the supporting production team and cast including many Central musical theater majors and minors. In the play, a couple awakens in a beautiful house surrounded by water, struggling to remember their identities and past. As they confront their memories, a visitor complicates their search for truth, exploring themes of reality and self-discovery.

The performances of “A Body of Water” will be held at 7 pm Thursday through Saturday, and at 2 pm on Sunday in Kruidenier Theatre. The performance is free and runs approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
