Written by August Strindberg and Directed by Kevin Landis.
Secrets and lies echo through every dream in August Strindberg’s The Ghost Sonata, a haunting tale of illusion, guilt, and decaying respectability. When a student enters a wealthy household led by a mysterious benefactor, the truth unravels in redolent fragments. Featuring UCCS Theatre & Dance students, this expressionist and symbolist classic explores the masks we wear, the ghosts we carry, and the truths we’d rather not face. Uncanny, poetic, magical, and deeply human.
UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats.
This production contains themes of death, betrayal, and psychological manipulation. If you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email klandis@uccs.edu.
