Brevard College Theatre will present Acute Exposure by August Hakvaag on Nov. 12, 14, and 15 in the Morrison Playhouse at the Paul Porter Center for Performing Arts.
The coming-of-age story brings together two high school seniors, Dell and Mara, through a school project and a shared mission to communicate with future generations about the dangers of nuclear waste buried beneath their community. As the two grow closer, their priorities begin to shift and they must decide what to carry forward and what to leave behind as they take their next steps in life. The story explores queer identity and follows two people who influence one another and asks the audience to question the marks we leave on the world around us.
The production features Brevard College student actors Lyric Contarino and Miranda Burke directed by faculty member Abbey Toot.
Performances are scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 15 at 2:30 p.m. There is no Friday performance.
Tickets are $5 for students, faculty and staff and $15 for the general public. Tickets are available at onthestage.tickets/brevard-college or at the door, if available. For more information, visit brevard.edu/theatre or call 828-641-0605.
