GRAMBLING, La. – October 4, 2021– After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Grambling State University is bringing theatre back with the stage play entitled 21A. The show, which runs Oct. 12-15 at the Floyd L Sandle Theatre, is a comedy that delves into the lives of eight everyday passengers riding Bus 21A.. It’s about “the people we see every day but may not bother to get to know,” said Kyle Zimmerman, an assistant theatre professor at GSU and the play’s director. “21A is the bus route that runs to the other side of the tracks. Its regular passengers are the poor, homeless and hopeless. ”They are thrown together during a bus hijacking and the audience gets a glimpse into their lives. Show dates and times: October 12, 13, 14, 15 at 7:30 p.m. and October 14 at noon. This show includes adult language and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
