ISU Theatre announces fall season

Works by Shakespeare, Mozart and the American classic "Our Town" are all on Iowa State University Theatre's fall 2006 schedule.

Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" will open ISU Theatre's season in late September followed in November by Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro." The fall season will conclude with William Shakespeare's "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream."

Tickets for each show are $13 for adults, $12 for seniors and $7 for students and children.

Each production will be held in the Fisher Theater on campus.

All ISU Theatre tickets are available at the Iowa State Center Ticket office at 515-294-3347.

The 2006 fall ISU Theatre season includes:

OUR TOWN
By Thornton Wilder
September 29-30 and October 6-7, 7:30 p.m.
October 1 & 8, 2 p.m.
This great American classic begins with a stage manager walking on stage and setting the scene, "The date is May 7, 1901 just before dawn." Act I is called "Daily Life"; Act II is "Marriage and Love" and Act III is "Death". By the time 12 years pass in Grovers Corners, N.H., and the performance draws to a close, the characters have made discoveries about the ordinary and extraordinary days that comprise every life. This is a treasure for the entire family.

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
November 2-4, 7:30 p.m.
November 5, 2p.m.
Join ISU Theatre and the Department of Music and celebrate the 250th birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart by producing one of his most beloved works, banned in Vienna where it was first performed in 1786 due to its mockery of the upper classes. Figaro learns on the eve of his marriage to a chambermaid that his employer, Count Almaviva, plans to evoke an old feudal privilege and spend the night with Figaro's intended bride. Mozart's melodies sparkle with sheer perfection.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
By William Shakespeare
December 1-2, 8- 9. 7:30 p.m.
December 3 & 10, 2 p.m.
This great romantic comedy depicts the adventures of two pairs of young lovers who flee Athens to find freedom and happiness in the forest. A group of amateur actors also move through the enchanted moonlit woods inhabited by mischievous fairies. For the last 400 years, this script has proved one of Shakespeare's most popular and still delights with wonder, magic and romance as it illustrates how fantasy and imagination influence individual views of the world.
