Murder, mayhem, madness....Playwright Alfred Jarry’s landmark piece parodies art,
politics, and his high school physics teacher. When it premiered in 1896, the play
created riots in the artistic community as it destroyed theatrical convention and introduced the ‘anti-hero’ Ubu, who murders his way to the throne. Ubu Roi presents a biting satire of political power and a cautionary commentary on the human condition
wrapped in grotesque humor. Advance Tickets: $15 adult, $13 Senior, $6 Student/Child and can be purchased at the University Box Office, (530) 898-6333. |
In April 2006, Sunset Magazine depicted Chico as...“Idyllic” and “picturesque... a community abuzz with creative arts.”
