The Goucher College Theatre Department will present a production of the controversial drama The Woodsman by Steven Fechter from Wednesday, October 24, through Saturday, October 27, at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, October 28, at 7 p.m. in the Mildred Dunnock Theatre of the Meyerhoff Arts Center.
Tickets are $5 for Goucher students, staff, and faculty and $10 for general admission. Reservations can be made at www.goucher.edu/theatretix or by calling 410-337-6512. For more information, contact Assistant Professor of Theatre Alvin Eng, the play’s director, at alvin.eng@goucher.edu.
The play explores the legal and moral dilemma of a convicted pedophile who is struggling to recover from this serious disorder while trying to re-enter society after 12 years of incarceration. Taking its title from the fairy tale character that cuts open the wolf and frees Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, this intense drama also explores the questions of how recidivism can be reduced in the U.S. criminal justice system and society. The play inspired the 2004 film of the same name starring Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
Additionally, The Woodsman playwright/screenwriter Steven Fechter will come to Goucher on Friday, October 26, to give a post-performance discussion with the audience and on Saturday, October 27, at 11:30 a.m. to participate in a panel discussion titled “Redemption: Legal, Moral, and Theatrical” with Amy Roza, director of Goucher’s Prison Education Program, and several Baltimore theater professionals to be announced.
