Sorry... you can't see this.....

EIGHT THEATRE VCU STUDENTS STAR IN ONE OF RICHMOND'S MOST REAL THEATRE PRODUCTIONS NOW PLAYING, THAT YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO SEE…

…unless you are one of 3,000 incoming VCU students or their parents.

 Student Voices, directed by Theatre VCU professor Barry Bell, is forty minutes of truth. Some stories are hard and scary, funny and uplifting, but all written and acted by students about real incidents from college life at VCU. 

Featuring undergrads Anna Valiant Jones, Max Moore, Matt Bloch, Liz Earnest, Ariel Shine, Jasmine Hammond, Dixon Cashwell, and grad student Michael Hegarty, Student Voices will run for thirty six shows this summer, as it has for the last five summers, for new students and their families during class registration days.

Stories about independence, safety, identity, and stepping forward to help a struggling classmate are brought to life with passion and authenticity. “ This show presents real world situations and illustrates how taking initiative can change your life.” Said Anna Jones, Theatre VCU second-year student. Matt Bloch, graduating senior added, “Everything might not resonate immediately for all of the audience, but it’s amazing how these lessons come up throughout your entire time here as a student.”

Barry Bell, the director of all six seasons of Student Voices wrapped it up this way,

"We offer this heightened reality of theatre to hopefully start a dialogue between students and their parents. College is very different from high school. We hope to make that transition a little easier, and make our audience more aware of the dangers and rewards of this chapter in their lives.”
