Fall 2024 Mainstage: The King Stag

By Carlo Gozzi
Oct. 30 - Nov. 9, 2024
The Temp Stage in the UD Drama Building

Associate Professor and Chair of Drama Kyle Lemieux directs Albert Bermel and Ted Emery’s translation of Carlo Gozzi’s 1762 “tale for the theatre”, The King Stag. The King Stag is a joyous comedy in the magnificent tradition of Italian Commedia dell’arte. Gozzi’s exuberant embrace of Commedia is married to a world of dynamic theatricality, heart, and ultimately a celebration of life itself…but with more bubbles.  

The costumes are designed by Martin Sanchez, and the light and set designs are by M.E. Kirk. The production stage manager is Allison Peterman and the assistant stage managers are Margaret Frank and Andrew Sanders.

The King Stag will be performed at the Temp Stage in the Drama Building on the University of Dallas campus (1845 E. Northgate Dr., Irving, TX 75062).  For directions, contact Karen Gempel at (972) 721-5061.

Due to the limited seating, please note: while admission is free to UD students, faculty and staff, reservations are strongly recommended. Join us after most performances for a post-show discussion with members of the cast and the creative team.
