A Fight for Justice Against the Odds: Southern Oregon University Theatre Presents Radium Girls

SOU Theatre Alum Nick Ferrucci Returns to Campus to Mentor Next Generation of Performers.

Southern Oregon University’s (SOU) Department of Theatre is celebrating an exceptional performance at last week’s American College Theatre Festival (ACTF) Region 7.

SOU Theatre Department presents their first production of 2026, The Visit. A tale of greed, morality and revenge.

The Southern Oregon University (SOU) Theatre Department is set to showcase the breadth of its student talent this fall with two ambitious and distinct productions: the intellectual masterpiece Arcadia and a chilling radio show, Ghosts on a Live Mic.

SOU Theatre presents:

What Happened While Hero Was Dead: a recent hit at Ashland New Plays Festival, Meghan Brown’s surprising play is a funny and thoughtful feminist riposte to Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, imagining the much mistreated Hero making better use of her off-stage time–afforded by the ruse of her death–than the original character managed. This time around, dutiful compliance is not on the cards. Directed by Holly L. Derr.*

Performance Dates are: February 16-18 at 8:00PM, February 23-25 at 8PM, Matinees February 25 & 26 at 2:00PM. SOU Black Box Theatre.

*This production is rated “R” and is for mature audiences only (age 17+); contains explicit sexual content and adult themes.

After moving back-and-forth – between the East and West coasts, and between theater stage design and historic preservation – Sean O’Skea has settled into his role at SOU as a professor of scenic design, which he’s held for the past 13 years.

Oregon Center for the Arts Marketing Manager recently interviewed SOU Theatre major Alex Szabo, class of 2020 regarding their reorganization of the annual SOU OSPIRG fundraiser.
