‘Cloud Tectonics’ to open MSU Studio Season

MANKATO — Mystery consumes the play “Cloud Tectonics,” which opens MSU Theatre & Dance’s Studio Season.

On a rainy night in Los Angeles, a regular guy named Anibal de la Luna picks up a hitchhiker named Celestina del Sol and takes her home with him. She’s 54, and she claims to have been pregnant for two years.

“She is indeed a rare and heavenly creature, a mystic wanderer with no sense of time and an

infinite capacity to love,” Mike Lagerquist of the department wrote about the show. “Alone in his little house, sealed off from the wails of the decaying city outside, De la Luna and Del Sol come together, joining their bodies and their dreams.”

The play is directed by second-year MFA Directing candidate Megan Gredesky, who last year directed “Wit.” Sophomore Eric Mayson plays Anibal and junior Jessica Dougherty plays Celestina.
