Random Row Gets Reckless with Richard III

The newly-founded Reckless Theatre Company—not to be confused with the New York-based group of the same name—is the project of a trio of UVA Drama majors, Ahmad Helmy, Anne Connelly, and Adam Santalla. The troupe was founded this year with the intention of bringing theatrical events to the wider community while sharpening their dramatic skills. Their debut performance of Shakespeare’s Richard III takes place this weekend at Random Row Books, with 8pm performances on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6. Random Row Books proprietor Ryan Deramus will pitch in to play assorted minor roles. Admission is $5, and advance tickets can be reserved by contacting amd5gg@virginia.edu.
