Department of Performing Arts presents Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley – Jan. 20-24, Feb. 2-5
Black Box Theatre, Thursday—Friday, 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, 2 & 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.; Monday & Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
Directed by Fredrick J. Rubeck
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, Henley’s play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three women betrayed by their passions. The scene is Hazlehurst, Miss., where the Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest, is unmarried at 30 and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg is back home after a failed singing career; Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. In the end it is a story of how these characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the lights have faded.
Admission: $12 or Elon ID. Reservations are highly recommended and will be taken beginning January 13 by calling (336) 278-5650.
