UNIVERSITY'S THEATRE SEASON OPENS FRIDAY

"You Can't Take It With You," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that became an Oscar-winning comedy film, will be the first presentation of the University Theatre's 1992-93 season.

The unconventional farce, written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart in 1937, brings the solemn and pompous Kirby family together with the fun-loving Sycamore clan for an evening of mishaps.

It will be presented Friday and Saturday, and Nov. 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 in the Forrest H. Rose Theatre on the Southeast Missouri State University campus. All performances are at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $3 for students, faculty and senior citizens, and $5 for non-students. Group rates are available for the Nov. 5 and 12 shows.

For information phone the box office at 651-2265.

Scheduled for Feb. 19-20 and Feb. 24-27 is "Walking On Our Knees," a regional drama about coal miners and their families in Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana and Western Kentucky. The play was adapted by Sharon Bebout, who also will direct.

The third major production of the season will be William Shakespeare's "Macbeth," to be presented April 16-17 and April 21-24, with Donald J. Schulte directing.

Also on the schedule are a Christmas benefit production by the University Players theater group on Dec. 3, and a showcase of student-directed scenes April 29 and May 3.
