Statement

As the last show I directed at Bemidji State University, I wanted this show to rock... hard. Thus, after much contemplation and collaboration, we decided to tak Ionesco's Lesson to the next level: MTV. The absurd repetition seemed reminiscent of the flashing imagery and simple plot lines you might find in a music video. The song: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who (just as over dramatic as the play).
