Boise State Theatre Arts Presents Premiere Of 'Dante'

---

The department of theatre arts will premiere �Dante,� an original work developed in collaboration with faculty and students, Nov. 11-21. Performances are in the Morrison Center Stage II at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11-13 and 17-20, and 2 p.m. Nov. 14 and 21. Tickets are $10 general; $9 non-Boise State students, Boise State alumni and seniors; and free for Boise State full-time students and employees through Select-a-Seat. With music and script by Boise State student Adam Harrell, �Dante� is a musical comedy that takes its hero of the same name through his own personal hell, revisiting the moments in his life where he lost his way. His encounters range from hilarious to heartbreaking as he must justify his existence while fending off his own personal demons. He must also be careful not to incur the wrath of his long-dead high school gym teacher, Mr. Virgil, who guides him through his many levels of shame and guilt to potential redemption. Directed by Mike Baltzell, with Phil Atlakson as dramaturg, �Dante� features Luke Massengill as Dante, Liberty Leeds as Megan and Josh Belville as Virgil. Costume design is by Nicole Laeger,  choreography is by Hailey Hays and Joe Lavigne is the set designer. Seth Asa Sengel is musical director. -30- Contact: Mike Baltzell, Department of Theatre Arts, (208) 334-3320, mbaltze@boisestate.edu                                                                Media Contact: Kathleen Craven, communications and marketing, (208) 426-3275, kcraven@boisestate.edu
