STARKVILLE, Miss.--Mississippi State's communication department next week presents a student production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Rabbit Hole."
Intended for mature audiences and directed by university communication instructor Jo Durs, the Thursday-Saturday [Feb. 25-27] performances by the Theatre MSU troupe will begin at 7:30 p.m. in McComas Hall's ground-floor Lab Theater.
Tickets are $10 for general admission; $5 for MSU students with valid identification.
Written by David Lindsay-Abaire, the play also was nominated for several Tony Awards. The story of how a life-shattering accident turns a couple's world upside down, it centers on ways a family copes with major loss, revealing both obvious dramatic elements and surprisingly comedic ones.
Durst, a veteran member of the MSU faculty, said the theme is a family's "search for comfort, and for the light at the end of a dark tunnel that touches the hearts of those who experience it."
In addition to theater, MSU's communication department includes the academic majors of broadcasting, communication studies, journalism, public relations, and sports communication.
