UW-L's Department of Theatre Arts continues its 2009-10 season with the drama “Frozen,” an examination of acceptance and forgiveness after a tragedy. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, Nov. 11-14, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, in Frederick Theatre in Morris Hall. When evidence points to the brutal assault and murder of 10-year-old Rhona, her mother Nancy sinks into a state of frozen shock and despair. When Agnetha, an American scholar, comes to town to work on her thesis, “Serial Killing—A Forgivable Act?”, Nancy begins to confront her grief and the demons that have troubled her. With anger, humanity and compassion, “Frozen” entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims, and his psychologist to explore capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out entirely. The play is a Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee. Tickets are $4 for UW-L students; $10 for other students, senior citizens and children; and $12 for others. This is a general seating performance; tickets are required. For reservations call the box office at 785.8522.
