Please Join Us for Another Free “Behind the Scenes” Class
After the wonderful turnout at the recent class on the musical “9 to 5”, the MSU Friends of Theatre and MSU Department of Theatre, in collaboration with our hosts at The Peoples Church of East Lansing, are pleased to offer a second free “Behind the Scenes” class, a discussion of the student production of
“Decision Height” by playwright Meredith Danya Levy
“BEHIND THE SCENES” is composed of two discussion sessions separated by a one-week opportunity to attend a performance of “Decision Height” at Studio 60 on Auditorium Rd on the MSU Campus.
Since the show run is short and the theater is the smallest one at MSU, the Department of Theatre is offering a chance to attend the dress rehearsal on Monday evening, March 31. A donation of $10, payable at the door, would be appreciated. The play runs from April 1 to 5. To purchase tickets to the play, go to WHARTON CENTER or call the Ticket Office at (517) 432-2000 or toll-free at 1-800-WHARTON. The cheapest way to purchase tickets is to go in person to the Wharton Center or to buy at the time of the performance when tickets will be $10. If you order online at Wharton Center.com the cost is $13. Tickets purchased by calling Wharton Center are $20.
Class Organizers: Carol Bryson, Sam Austin, and Joan Mattson; Faculty Collaborators: Rob Roznowski and Kirk Domer.
