NO MORE PEACE • YSU THEATER

,

Although No More Peace has rarely been staged since it was written in 1935 by Ernst Toller, its themes are as relevant today as they were when Hitler came to power. As a review in The Vindicator says, "In a slightly Absurdist way, it takes on many themes of the 1930s – nationalism, scapegoating, intolerance – that are once again rearing their head."

The cast and crew of YSU's No More Peace have once again produced an impressive, visually stunning show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 

The production is directed by C. Austin Hill, a first-year professor of theater at YSU. The cast includes Ben Mowrer, Mac Callahan, Simon Davis, AnnMarie Lowerre, Halla Henry, Mia Colon, Jessica Hirsh, Sarah Mentzer, Brooke Nobbs, Megan Jones, Rosie Bresson, Mason Edmunds, Josh Crank, Shanon Coleman, Alicia Reed, Ian McBride, Nathan Wagner, Leah Tekac, Paige Rebber and Ciara Rosario.

Catch the last weekend of No More Peace March 3-4 at 7:30pm, and March 5 2pm at Spotlight Theater in Bliss Hall. Buy tickets here
