No Exit is a twisted existential tragedy in which three damned souls find themselves locked in the room that is their hell. Each desperately seeks their salvation by trying to force one of the others to see them as they wish to see themselves.

Senior Drama major Lucy Gallagher is Inez, a sadistic adulteress. Brennan Schmiedicke returns to Senior Studios as Cradeau, an abusive pacifist journalist (and deserter). Beatrice Ellison is the slightly washed-up baby-killing socialite Estelle, and Jude Self is the sardonic teenage Bellhop tasked to welcoming the three to their eternal destination: hell.

Drama at the University of Dallas

Drama programs at UD serve as a foundation for graduate study, professional work in theater and mass media, a teaching career in either elementary or secondary education, or, by proper choice of electives, graduate work in foreign language, English literature, dramatic literature, journalism, communication or comparative literature.

About UD Drama

A person committed to the study of theater within the framework of a liberal education must be prepared to work toward two goals: first, a thorough competence in the basic skill of dramatic expression and interpretation; and concurrently, a view that comprehends dramatic art as it relates to, expresses, and extends the surrounding culture.
