CIVIC THEATRE PRESENTS AWARD-WINNING PLAY, THE DRAWER BOY:
Civic Theatre's next offering in its 82nd season is the award-winning play, "The Drawer Boy," by Michael Healey. Winner of the 1999 Dora Award (the Canadian equivalent of the Tony's), "The Drawer Boy" was named by Time Magazine as one of the 10 best plays of 2001, dubbing it "a new classic."
"The Drawer Boy" opens February 15, and runs Feb. 16, 23, 24, 25, 29 and March 1, and 2.
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8:00pm and Sunday matinees are at 2:00. Tickets are $17 for adults, $16 for seniors 65 and older, and $12 for students 21 and younger.
Patrons may call 425-2800 for tickets and more information.
It's 1972, and a young Toronto actor, Miles, arrives on the small farm of two middle-aged farmers to do hands-on research for an upcoming play about farming life. One of the farmers, Morgan, is not too thrilled with the young city dweller, and amuses himself by assigning Miles to do ridiculous chores. Angus, on the other hand, is unable to remember that the young actor is even there due to a head injury sustained during World War II. Miles stumbles upon the truth about their past and as a result, their lives are forever altered. What begins as a hilarious portrayal of rural and urban culture clash, slowly peels away layers of forgotten truths and lies, exposing hidden secrets of love and tragedy.

Merrill Snethen Exhibit
Attention all Bosse grads from the Merrill Snethen era! The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana is sponsoring a Merrill Snethen art exhibit - opening on Sunday, February 2, at 2:00 with a rousing medley of Dick Hyatt's arrangements for the Musician Club chorus, featuring the "originals." Merrill Snethen was an artist and art teacher at Bosse High School during the 50's and 60's (probably longer) and his work has been collected by many fans in the Evansville area for years.
Join us for a wonderful selection of his work between February 3 and March 8 at the Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery.
