An Immersive Theatrical Experience about Healthcare - Mary Jane by Amy Herzog

Students from the MSU Department of Theatre and The MSU Learning assessment present The Theatrical Production of Mary Jane by Amy Herzog - an emotionally resonsant play centering on Mary Jane, a single mother caring for her medically fragile son, highlighting the support systems, emotional toll, and quiet resilience of caregivers.

This production will be staged as an immersive theatrical experience, placing audience members, at times, in simulated exam rooms. Audiences will be provided with the background regarding Mary Jane’s chronically ill son along with information including his health, insurance concerns, and what may be done to help before they transition to the performance space. The show focuses on Mary Jane’s continuous care for her son born at 25 weeks with cerebral palsy and the sustained community of women (neighbors, friends, and health care workers). Audience members should expect a close, immersive encounter during the performance, where space and story are deeply intertwined.

There is a limit of 30 seats for each of the two performances. Proceeds from ticket sales will support production costs.

Ticket cost: $30
