Dinner Theater

South PacificBased on James Michner’s novel, Tales of the South Pacific, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize winning musical is one of the most beloved of all time. Set on an island paradise during WWII, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of ethnic prejudice and war. Although well-known for its extraordinarily beautiful score, South Pacific is also a deeply felt drama. Its portrayal of Americans stationed in a foreign culture during war times is as relevant today as when it first thrilled audiences in 1949. Dinner will be served in the SSB Auditorium at 6:30 p.m., followed by a short walk to the theater in the Donald D. Shook Fine Arts Building for the 8 p.m. performance. Last date to cancel is 7/6.Tuesday 6:30-10:30p; Start: 7/20; End: 7/20 Tuition: $20
