Radford University will host a guest director for the play “Dancing On Checkers’ Grave,” set to run Nov. 2-6 as part of the Hawes Studio Theatre series.
The Department of Theatre and Cinema tapped Radford alumnus Stephen Baltz ’12 to direct the play, which has a cast of two students.
“Stephen was a strong student director while he was here,” said Professor of Theatre Wesley Young. “We thought he would be a great person to take on this project. It also gives the students the chance to work with someone outside the few of us who usually direct at Radford."
Students are involved in every aspect of the play, ranging from set design and lighting to assistant costume designer and the backstage crew.
“Students are vital to this production,” Baltz said. “Without the students, there would be no show.”

If you missed the University Performance Series Oct. 18 concert with Jeffrey Krieger, the Electric Cellist, thanks to Art Professor Andrew Ross, we have video to share.
In two works, students from Dance Professor Deborah McLaughlin’s Dance Improvisation class performed onstage alongside Krieger. One is a musical improvisation created by Music Professor Bruce Mahin, featuring dancers improvising against the theme transformation. This also incorporates an image sequence created by students from Ross’ Contemporary Photography course.
Dancers performed in another work work titled “Rebound” with accompaniment provided by electric cello and audio processed through delays and reverberation modules. They are complemented by Ross’ photographic projections.
