Theatre Students Perform in Charlotte Symphony’s “Spoon River Anthology”

Three theatre students and two recent theatre alumni performed on October 3 in the Charlotte Symphony production of Spoon River Anthology. The performance took place in Elmwood Cemetery in uptown Charlotte.

Written in 1915, with a second collection published in 1926, Edgar Lee Masters’s Spoon River Anthology is a series of free verse monologues spoken from beyond the grave by the former residents of Spoon River, a fictional small town in Illinois. The Charlotte Symphony production, directed by Chris Stonnell, featured selections from both volumes of verse and music performed by four Symphony trombonists.

The five UNC Charlotte actors were (pictured above, left to right) Tyler (Hope) Milton, Morgan McDonald, Haley Harkins ‘20, Isabel Gonzalez ‘19, and Anthony Neal.
