Set on the day after 9/11, Recent Tragic Events follows Waverly, a young ad executive in Minneapolis, as she navigates a blind date while anxiously awaiting news about her missing twin sister in New York. As strange visitors and surreal coincidences pile up—including a sock puppet incarnation of Joyce Carol Oates—the play explores fate, uncertainty, and human connection in the shadow of tragedy. Tickets available at the College of Fine Arts Box Office starting August 1.
