Fifth of July will be directed by R. Michael Gros who is a guest artist and lecturer in the OSU Department of Music. The play is about the journey of Kenneth Talley, a combat-wounded veteran and English teacher, who has returned home disillusioned about life. Talley tries to distance himself from his community and calling. In the process, he rediscovers the desire to engage in his world and to live life fully.
Gros is a professor at Kansas State University where he teaches acting and directing. As a director, he has more than 70 Equity credits to his name and numerous honors including invitations to serve as a participant in Theatre Communication Group’s New Artistic Leaders Institute. He was selected seven times as an invited professional participant in the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville, Ky.
