SVSU to present first full-length production of ‘Very Berry Dead’
|
Jose Perez IV, the author and director of Saginaw Valley State University’s next theatre performance, “Very Berry Dead,” is no stranger to the Great Lakes Bay Region. The multifaceted talent grew up in Saginaw, graduating from Nouvel Catholic Central before completing bachelor’s and master’s degrees in drama.
Saginaw Valley State University is proud to host the premiere of the show, which runs from Wednesday, Feb. 15 - Sunday, Feb. 19.
“It’s a real honor to have the world premiere production produced here at our university, to be able to help develop new theatrical work, and a unique opportunity for our students to work with the playwright and guest director” said Dave Rzeszutek, SVSU professor of theatre. “The experience is especially meaningful because Jose (Perez) grew up in Saginaw.”
