College Theatre is just about ready to open the original student adaptation of Spoon River Anthology by Michael Moon, directed by Connie Canaday Howard (Director of Theater).

A collection of poems from Edgar Lee Masters’ 1915 book of poetry, Spoon River Anthology paints a picture of life in a small, midwestern town through a series of vignettes. Secrets once locked away by the long-gone residents of Spoon River will be revealed through various stories from beyond the grave.

For tickets, call the McAninch Arts Center Box Office, @ (630) 942-4000 now located in OCC 143 during the week; outside of K 160 prior to performances. Group rate tickets are available depending on size. The show runs Mar. 1-10 in K 160. Curtain for performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday is 8 p.m., while Sunday’s matinee will start at 2 p.m. 

In addition to the 8 p.m. performance on Mar. 8, a post-show discussion with the cast, crew and director will be open to all.
