WAUKESHA – The University of Wisconsin-Waukesha will present the world premiere of Ian Galloway’s darkly comic God Willing – A Twology, directed by Simon Provan of the Communication & Theatre Arts department.

The play, which is really two short plays in one, mixes realism and avant-garde theater as it ponders the ideas of free will, God and little miracles. The production invites a more intimate connection between audience and actors by placing seats on stage and transforming the larger space into a studio-type theater.     

An all-student cast has been chosen:

Denise Dellevar, Hales Corners, plays the Executioner

Melissa Freson, Big Bend, plays Rachel and Enamor

Melodee Glatzel, Waukesha, plays May

Geoffrey Hall, Watertown, plays Larry

Kimberly Hamilton, Milwaukee, also plays the Executioner

Jason Kausalik, Sussex, plays Ben 2

Cody Kreidler, Delafield, plays Michael

Russ Monroe, New Berlin, plays Ben 1

Michael Moro, Waukesha, plays Ick

Amanda Pirlot, West Allis, plays Chad and Gromit

David Rogers, Waukesha, plays Ian
