Carthage Theatre Presents ‘Memento Mori’
JANUARY 09, 7:00PM CST (5:00PM PST)
WARTBURG THEATRE
The Theatre Department will remount the production of ‘Memento Mori’ for one night only at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9, in the Wartburg Theatre. This performance is free and open to the public.
“Memento Mori” is a fantastical story woven from the collective minds of the ensemble and directors, all grappling with life’s biggest questions: Why are we here? Why does that matter? And what comes next? The play is a modern and imaginative reflection on mortality, grief, and the afterlife developed by the student ensemble and faculty director Neil Scharnick in partnership with West End House School of Arts in Killarney, Ireland.
“Memento Mori” first premiered as the 14th installment of Carthage’s New Play Initiative in November 2022. The production has been invited to the prestigious Region III Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, taking place Wednesday, Jan. 11 through Sunday, Jan. 15, in Flint, Michigan. The cast and crew will then travel to Ireland in late January to showcase the play in Dublin and Killarney.
