Beyond Therapy
by Christopher Durang
October 10-12, 17-19
Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2:00 p.m.
Askanase Auditorium

Your couch or mine?

Set in Manhattan, Beyond Therapy is the story of Naive Prudence as she struggles with the singles scene with the help of her chauvinistic therapist. When she answers Bruce's zany personal ad, her world is thrown into a tailspin of crying, love triangles, guns and inept therapists. Love as usual, but through the skewed sensibilities of the award-winning comedic writer Christopher Durang.

For Mature Audiences.

Tickets: $12 for adults; $10 for seniors/NDSU faculty, staff, alumni; $8 for non-NDSU students; $5 for NDSU students.

Iphigenia at Aulis
by Euripides
November 19-23
Wednesday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
Askanase Auditorium

In this gripping vision of what war can do to a nation, a people, and a family, Euripides warns against the moral decay that infects countries in military conflict and how it can corrupt and deprive people of their humanity. The lessons taught in this Greek classic are still relevant today.

Tickets: $12 for adults; $10 for seniors/NDSU faculty, staff, alumni; $8 for non-NDSU students; $5 for NDSU students.

Mister Lincoln
by Herbert Mitgang
Thursday, February 12 at 7:30 pm
Askanase Auditorium

This one man show starring NDSU graduate Mark Neukom celebrates the life of one of America's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. Wit and elegance form the essence of Mister Lincoln, as it begins with his youth as an advocate in Illinois and seamlessly moves to the momentous years he spend in Washington as the great emancipator during the Civil War. By the end of the play, audiences will have discovered the inner life of the human, humorous, and often troubled, former President of the United States.

Mister Lincoln is free and open to the public.

West Side Story
by Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents, Stephen Sondheim
February 25-March 1
Wednesday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2:00 p.m.

"We'll find a new way of living, we'll find a way of forgiving...."
-Tony and Maria, Somewhere

West Side Story, the classic that forever changed the American musical, will highlight the theatre season with it's energetic dance, unforgettable lyrics and amazing story.

Featuring some of Broadway's most beloved music including Somehwhere, One Hand, One Heart, Tonight, America and Maria, this Tony Award winning musical is one you can't miss!

Tickets: $20 for adults; $15 for seniors/NDSU faculty, staff, alumni; $10 non-NDSU students; $8 for NDSU students.
