Sam Barthel ’24 (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting, Minor in Film Studies) produced, directed and starred in his independent project, a production of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,” the award-winning play by John Patrick Shanley. It was presented from Feb. 16 through Feb. 18 in the Harold Herman Lab Theatre. The story follows two broken souls who meet in a bar and begin a passionate relationship that explores each other’s vulnerabilities. The violent, gritty, emotionally raw play shows that no matter how shameful one may be, there is always a chance for forgiveness.
“It’s a story about redemption – that even the most ugly of us can find new life when we are given the gift of forgiveness,” said Barthel.
