Spoon River Anthology at Mt. Sac

The Mt. San Antonio College Theater Program will stage its fall production of Edgar Lee Masters’ “Spoon River Anthology,” on Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 10-11 and 17-18,  at 8 p.m., in the Sophia B. Clarke Theater.

In this stage adaptation of Masters’ classic, the curtain rises on a long-forgotten cemetery and the spirits of the former residents of Spoon River. Through a series of monologues and vignettes, over 70 different characters from all walks of life reveal their secrets, disappointments, passions, and loves. Exemplifying both the hard and humorous sides of human experience, this play is not about death, but about life. Susan Boulanger directs this Mt. SAC production.

Tickets are $12 for general admission, $9 for seniors, students, and children under 12.

For tickets and information, call the Mt. SAC Performing Arts Box Office at (909) 468-4050.
