THE MEDIUM” AT SLU’S POTTLE MUSIC BUILDING  – Jacquie Brecheen of Ponchatoula, left, and Simon Pfiel, right, of Hammond are among the cast of the Southeastern Louisiana University Opera-Music Theatre program’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s “The Medium,” scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Oct. 24-26, at Pottle Music Building Auditorium. “The Medium” explores the world of the supernatural as the fraudulent Madame Flora feels a spectral hand on her neck as she conducts a seance. She accuses her daughter Monica (Brecheen) and mute assistant Toby (Pfiel) of playing a cruel trick. Is Madame Flora going mad, or is the other world extracting its revenge? “The Medium” and Menotti’s “The Telephone” are directed by Larry Gray and produced by Charles Effler. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for senior citizens, non-SLU students, and SLU faculty, staff and alumni. Admission is free for Southeastern students presenting a university I.D.
