THEATER | Sons of anarchy

Friday, Feb. 24 is opening night of UIS Theatre’s facultyshowcase production of Sam Shepard’s True West. The story follows two estranged brothers who, once reunited, still mix like water and oil, particularly when older brother Lee’s swindling ways interfere with Austin’s screenplay pitch to a Hollywood producer. Directed by Missy Thibodeaux- Thompson and starring Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson as Lee and Craig Rauch as Austin, the play runs for six performances in the Studio Theatre. Other cast includes Tom Hutchison as Saul and Susan Jeffers as Mom. Tickets can be purchased from Sangamon Auditorium ticket office, online, by mail or phone, or 90 minutes before curtain time. An additional $4 operating charge is added for mail or phone, $2 for others. For more information visit uis.edu/theatre. (Read more, p. 16)
