SUBMITTED PHOTO University of Indianapolis senior Morgan Jackson (from left), Associate Professor Jim Ream and 1997 graduate Jenni White are among the cast of “King Lear,” which opens Friday at Ransburg Auditorium, 1400 E. Hanna Ave., and will serve as homecoming for the school’s former theater students. Ream, well known in the regional theater community and associate professor and past chair of UIndy’s department of theater, will share the spotlight with many of his current and former students as one of the Western world’s great theatrical tragedies is staged. The story is set in ancient Britain as Lear (Ream) faces retirement and the need to divide his kingdom among his three daughters. As the family dynamics play out unexpectedly, the tale ends in death and madness. Performances are at 8 p.m. Oct. 23, 24, 29-31, with a free preview at 8 p.m. Oct. 22 and a 2 p.m. showing Oct. 25. Tickets, $10 and $12, can be reserved by calling 788-3251.
