Chekhov's classic drama, "Three Sisters" tops the 2007 fall Iowa State University Theatre schedule.

"Three Sisters" will be performed on two separate October weekends in Fisher Theater. The season also includes the satire "We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!" and a special Iowa State University Sesquicentennial production of "Quilters."

Tickets for each show are $14 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 515-294-2479.

The 2007 fall ISU Theatre season includes:

WE WON'T PAY! WE WON'T PAY!
By Dario Fo
October 5-6, 13 & 20 @ 7:30 p.m.
October 7 @ 2 p.m.

It's 1974 Italy and inflation and unemployment have collapsed the economy. With the price of groceries going through the roof, what's a poor Italian girl to do? Stuff bags of food up her sweater and pretend to be pregnant in this sidesplitting satire of course. The protagonists of "We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!" are driven by their collective hungers to break free from the constraints in which their poverty has confined them.

THREE SISTERS
By Anton Chekhov
October 12 & 19 @ 7:30 p.m.
October 14 & 21 @ 2 p.m.

The decay of the privileged class in Russia and the search for meaning in the modern world comes to light in Chekhov's classical drama. Sisters Olga, Masha and Irina are refined and cultured young women in their twenties who were raised in urban Moscow, but have been living in a small, colorless provincial town for 11 years. With their father dead, their anticipated return to Moscow comes to represent their hopes for living a good life, while the ordinariness of day-to-day living tightens its hold.

QUILTERS
By Molly Newman and Barbara Damashek
November 9-10 @ 7:30 p.m.
November 11 @ 2 p.m.
November 30 & December 1 @ 7:30 p.m.
December 2 @ 2 p.m.

This musical inspired by a project organized by the Smithsonian Institution as well as a variety of journals and books celebrates the struggles and fortitude exhibited by the women of the Plains through the interconnection between life, family, and quilting. "Quilters" blends a series of interrelated scenes into a rich mosaic, which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. This ISU Theatre production is part of Iowa State University's 150th anniversary celebration.
