Thursday, Apr. 19th

This month, Gannon University's Schuster Theatre will be unveiling their latest show of the current season, Richard Bean's One Man, Two Guvnors. Directed by Gannon alumna and theatre professor Alaina Manchester, this English adaptation of Carlo Goldoni's beloved Italian comedy, The Servant of Two Masters, follows Francis Henshall, one man with two peculiar bosses that he must keep from interacting in 1960s-era Brighton. One Man, Two Guvnors originally premiered in May 2011 to widespread critical acclaim, including a five star review from The Guardian proclaiming it "a triumph of visual and verbal comedy." Schuster Theatre's performance will star students Luke Frawley, Petra Shearer, and Seamus Clerkin as lead Francis Henshall. — Aaron Mook

8 p.m. to 9 p.m. // 620 Sassafras Street // General Admission $7, Gannon Students and Staff $5
