Center Stage Theatre

 

In “Invisible Threads,” a mysterious woman asks two down-at-heel actors and their clueless stage manager to apply their theatrical skills to a real-life crisis. At her urging, they enter the lives of a family beset by illness and emotional problems, in the guises of a Dixie-bred maid, an Oxford-educated tutor and a New Age guru. A skeptical scientist follows, threatening to expose them as frauds. Complications ensue when the actors – or is it their characters? – become emotionally entangled with the family and with each other.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 28-March 2 and March 7-9 and at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 and Sunday, March 10. Tickets are $21 regular, $18 senior, $6 students. Subscribers to three or more plays receive a discounted rate of $17 regular and $15 senior. Tickets are available at the door or by calling the SOU Performing Arts Box Office at 552-6348. More information is available at sou.edu/theatre. The theatres are located on South Mountain Avenue, next to the Music Recital Hall.
