Working with Transy and the surrounding theater community, Murillo\u2019s visit will culminate in a public staged reading of his new dark comedy, &#8220;Killing of a Gentleman Defender.&#8221; First commissioned by The Goodman Theatre, this diverse production explores youth violence and the 1994 murder of Colombian soccer star Andres Escobar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reading is the second production of Transy Theater\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/about\/theater-program\/season\">2018-2019 season<\/a>, the first under new program director Tosha Fowler, the Lucille C. Little Chair of Theater. This performance brings to the stage not only a new work, but a collaboration with Lexington\u2019s professional theater community, something <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2018\/08\/new-program-director-leads-transylvania-theaters-2018-19-season\/\">she promised to do when joining Transy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reading is directed by Bo List, producing artistic director of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.athenswest.net\/\">AthensWest Theatre Company<\/a>, and features a number of professional actors familiar to Lexington audiences, as well as Fowler, who has previously performed in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playwright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlosmurillo.net\/\">Carlos Murillo<\/a> will attend Thursday\u2019s performance. He is a Chicago-based, internationally produced and award winning playwright and the recipient of a 2015 Doris Duke Impact Award for his work in the theater.\u00a0 He also received a 2016 Mellon Foundation Playwright Residency at Adventure Stage in Chicago. His body of work has been widely produced throughout the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murillo\u2019s work, &#8220;Killing of a Gentleman Defender,&#8221; weaves the story of the 1994 murder of soccer star Andres Escobar into the artistic explorations of the lead character, Martin. Hired by a well-funded arts institution on Chicago\u2019s Northside to create a show with youth about violence on the city&#8217;s Southside, Martin finds himself torn by the conflicting needs of the institution and the young people they believe they&#8217;re \u201cserving,\u201d and by a city in a death struggle with its own divided self. And when a very real act of violence hits home, what story will Martin and his youth ensemble tell?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stop by Little Theater on Thursday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. to find out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the reading, Murillo will participate in a discussion with audience members. The performance is free and open to the community. Tickets are not required. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania University Theater will introduce Lexington to award-winning playwright and Mellon Foundation recipient Carlos Murillo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30,161,64],"tags":[71,61,126],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-4001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-fine-arts","category-new-frontiers","tag-new-frontiers","tag-top-stories","tag-transy-theater"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
