Barthel ’24 Produces, Directs, and Stars in Independent Project of ‘Danny and the Deep Blue Sea’

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.
