USF Theatre and Dance’s 2011-12 British International Theatre production
Presented in conjunction with Filter Theatre Company
 
Filter Theatre brings together actors, musicians, technicians, designers, writers and directors to create both new works of original theatre and thrilling incarnations of existing texts. Filter’s shows create an on-stage fusion of live and recorded music and sound, naturalistic and stylised physical movement and video images.  USF Theatre and Dance is excited to host Filter as this year's guest artists.
