About This Show

Written by Adrienne Kennedy, Ohio State Murders portrays Suzanne Alexander, a fictional African-American writer whose life both is and is not based on Ms. Kennedy’s own life experiences.

When Suzanne enters Ohio State in the 1950s, little does she know that the safe haven of academia conceals forces of racism. Years later, Suzanne is invited to return to the University to talk about the violence in her writing. A dark mystery unravels as past and present intertwine in this lyrical, spellbinding story of Suzanne’s confrontation with hatred, loss and love. Evan Yionoulis directs.

For ages 25 and under, $10.00 tickets are available at the box office with valid ID. They may be purchased for all performances, including day-of or future performances, in-person only, at the theater itself.
