Theatreworks’s next production, \u201cThe Hairy Ape,\u201d will go on as planned in February in tribute to Murray Ross, the founder and artistic director of Theatreworks who died Jan. 3.<\/p>\n

Scott RC Levy, executive director of performing arts, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center,\u00a0 agreed to take over directorial duties for “The Hairy Ape.”<\/p>\n

Levy will join local cast members for the production in remembrance of Ross.<\/p>\n

“We miss Murray very much every day,”\u00a0 Julie Maykowski, managing director, Theatreworks, said. “As we look to the future, we are resolved to make certain that Murray\u2019s legacy lives on through the art we create. Murray\u2019s spirit seems to be hovering around us and inspiring us all to continue to do the work that makes\u00a0Theatreworks\u00a0so special.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hairy Ape\u201d by Eugene O\u2019Neill is a 1922 expressionist play and considered at 20th<\/sup> century masterwork. The story follows Yank\u2019s journey to find belonging in a world controlled by the wealthy.<\/p>\n

Performances of “The Hairy Ape” will take place in the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater in University Hall. The production runs Feb. 9-26. For tickets, call (719) 255-3232 or visit www.theatreworkscs.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UCCS students are admitted for free. The play is appropriate for families with children who are older than 5 years because of its length.<\/p>\n
