*Big Love *is a contemporary retelling of Aeschylus’ *The Suppliants*, long
thought to be the oldest surviving play script. This tale of 50 brides
running away from their 50 grooms is staged in a bold physical style. The
play’s provocative themes include immigration, gender roles, and sexual
oppression. *Big Love*promises to be a rich and rollicking adventure for
both actors and spectators.



The Theatre Arts Program at The University of Akron equips undergraduate
and graduate students with a broad knowledge of theatre arts and
fundamental practical skills in order to prepare them to address the
emerging issues and challenges of the theatre profession and a diverse and
vibrant society. The Theatre Arts Program provides high quality educational
and artistic experiences that enhance the cultural lives of all students at
The University of Akron, as well as the residents of the greater Akron
community and the Northeast Ohio region.
