THE GREAT GATSBY TO VISIT REYNOLDS FEB. 24
College of Fine Arts and Communication Media Office
CONWAY — Montana Repertory Theatre’s production of The Great Gatsby will visit the University of Central Arkansas’s Donald W. Reynolds Performance Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 24.
The 7:30 p.m. production is sponsored by the Log Cabin Democrat.
The Great Gatsby is part of UCA Public Appearances’ Broadway series. One of the great cautionary tales about the American Dream, the F. Scott Fitzgerald book tells the story of Jay Gatsby whose seemingly perfect life of lavish parties and privilege hides a darker world of obsession. His quest to win back his first love threatens to shatter many lives and change more than one American dream.
“This classic literary tale will be brought to life by the talented actors, detailed sets and extravagant costumes,” said Amanda Horton, director of UCA Public Appearances. “Montana Repertory Theatre has a long history of bringing to the stage stories that touch the spirit and captivate the audience.”
Audience members will experience the glitz and glamour of the Jazz Age and one of the most unforgettable stories of the 20th century. According to press materials, “It’s all here: the beautiful people, the decadence, the idealism — and the darkest fate.”
Tickets range from $30‐$40 for the general public and $10 for children and students. For tickets, call UCA Ticket Central Box Office at (501) 450-3265 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday or toll free from anywhere in Arkansas at 1-866-810-0012 or visitwww.uca.edu/reynolds.
