The Hastings College Theatre Department will present its fifth production of the year titled “Crimes of the Heart,” by Beth Henley.
Performances are scheduled for Thursday, April 28; Friday, April 29; and Saturday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 1 at 2:00 p.m. All shows are in the Scott Studio Theatre on campus (806 N. Turner Ave.).
General admission tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for non-Hastings College students and seniors. For reservations, email tickets@hastings.edu.
“Crimes of the Heart” was first presented by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, then Off-Broadway, then on Broadway. It won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.
Henley’s play is warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative; it teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.
