College acting
Southwestern Oregon Community College
Southwestern Oregon Community College’s presentation of playwright Sam Shepard’s “A Lie of the Mind” concludes tonight at 7 at the Coos Bay campus.
The play sets viewers right into the story of two rural families as the marriage that joins them is torn apart by a series of violent, yet comically mistimed events. It is a tale punctuated throughout by errant behavior: deep aphasia, dementia, domestic abuse and gunplay.
The play is on stage at the Hales Center for the Performing Arts, 1988 Newmark Ave. General admission is $8; seniors $6, with complimentary admission to students.
For reservations, those interested can call 888-7469.
