The Arkansas State University Theatre announces the production schedule for the 2010-2011 theatre season. All performances will be held in the Drama Theatre, Fowler Center, 201 Olympic Drive, Jonesboro. Opening the season will be "Wonder of the World" by David Lindsay-Abaire. Nothing will prepare audiences for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband's sweater drawer. It is so shocking that the heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It's a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self discovery. Variety says, "Full frontal lunacy is on display.a most assuredly fresh and hilarious tragicomedy of marital discord run amok. Lindsay-Abaire's flare for the absurd combines nicely with an ability to pull laughs out of any situation. ..absolutely hysterical." Performance dates for "Wonder of the World" are Wednesday-Saturday, Oct. 6-9. This play contains adult language and subject matter. Tickets for all performances are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. All seating is reserved. Tickets should be purchased in advance at the ASU Central Box Office in the Convocation Center, by calling 972-ASU1, or online (http://www2.astate.edu/tickets/) at Advanced reservations are highly recommended.
