Troy University’s Sounds of the Stage

In this episode we hear a powerful scene from Trains, written by this show's host, Quinton Cockrell. A husband and wife clash as trauma undermines their relationship. The scene is performed by Troy Theatre students Reana Wallace and Devin Caster.

This time, we hear two scenes. One is a confession of love, and the other is a reaction to that very same confession. Then, Troy University lecturer Alex Piper, who has directed a production of Twelfth Night for TROY, joins us to discuss the play.

Today’s performance features a rapid-fire exchange between the blind prophet Tiresius and King Oedipus himself.

Last episode, we heard a dramatic exit. This time, an aggressive entrance sets the stage for our performance of Medea, written by ancient Greek playwright Euripides.

On this show, we listen to some of our favorite scenes from the theatre and celebrate the sounds that resonate with us long after we’ve left our seats. In 1879, audiences found themselves utterly shocked at the premiere of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House."  In today's scene, Troy University students Ellen Fox and Colton Suttles play Nora and Torvald Helmer.
