Franklin College to Perform The Shape of Things

Release date: November 7, 2009

The Franklin College fine arts department will perform The Shape of Things, by Neil LaBute, on Nov. 18, 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. All performances will be in Thèâtre Margot in the Johnson Center for Fine Arts.

Under the direction of Nicolas Crisafulli, questions of love and art are explored in a modern retelling of the fall of man. The fall hinges on a chance meeting between a sexy, aggressive art student, Evelyn, and a shy, insecure young man, Adam. Under Evelyn's influence, Adam goes to extreme lengths to improve his appearance and outlook. Audience discretion is advised.

Admission is $6 for students and seniors (55 and older). General admission is $10. Franklin College students, faculty and staff are admitted free with a valid student ID. Tickets may be reserved by calling (317) 738-8029.
