Theatre--Performance

Cité des Arts opens its 2009 theatre season on Thursday, March 5th with Educating Rita, the award-winning stage comedy by British playwright Willy Russell. Directed by Maureen Brennan and starring Acadiana favorites Vincent P. Barras and Erin Segura, the story follows the relationship during the course of a University semester, between Susan White, a working class hairdresser from Liverpool, and Dr Frank Bryant, a middle-aged University lecturer. The play deals with England's class system, the shortcomings of institutional education, and the nature of self-development.

This show runs for three weekends opening on Thursday, March 5th and closing on Saturday, March 21st. Performances are Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., at Cité des Arts, 109 Vine St., downtown Lafayette, between Jefferson St. and Third St. Ticket prices are $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for Senior Citizens, 65+ and Students of any age.
