What will people do for money? Find out as Hardin Simmons University of Theatre begins its season with Friedrich Durrenmatt’s abstract tragic-comedy "The Visit," running October 5th-7th and 12th-15th.

Impoverished townspeople are hungry and eager for an economic boost. A benefactress, a citizen from the town’s past, returns for a visit. As it turns out, the wealthy woman will donate freely, but only in return for the townspeople exacting a horrible deed.

"The Visit" will run October 5th-7th and October 12th-14th at 8 p.m. and October 15th at 2 p.m. in the Van Ellis Theatre on the HSU campus.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students, senior citizens, and military. HSU Faculty, Staff, and Students receive free admission. Season tickets are $30 for admission to all four HSU Theatre mainstage productions. For more information or reservations, contact the HSU Theatre Box Office (325) 670-1405.
