MURFREESBORO — MTSU
Theatre’s performances of “Einstein’s
Dreams,” the stage adaptation of an international best-selling novel, will
continue as scheduled this week in the university’s Studio Theatre in the
Boutwell Dramatic Arts Auditorium.
Last week’s winter weather and the resulting university closures
cancelled one performance, but the curtain will go up as planned Wednesday
through Sunday, Feb. 25-March 1.
General admission tickets are $10 each and $5 for K-12 students and
senior citizens. MTSU students with valid IDs will be admitted free.
Feb. 25-28 performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and the March 1 matinee
begins at 2 p.m. The Studio Theatre in Room 101 seats about 80.
“Einstein’s Dreams,” created by physicist, author and Massachusetts
Institute of Technology professor Alan Lightman, explores a young Albert
Einstein’s reveries about the conception of time while he developed his theory
of relativity. Some of the “dreams” are based in fact, while others are fictional.
Memphis native Lightman’s 1992 novel has been used nationwide in
university reading programs and was first adapted for the stage in 1996. The
play has been presented on numerous stages since then, including at the New
York Fringe Festival and in Beijing, China.
Tickets for the MTSU Arts presentations, sponsored by Ascend
Federal Credit Union, are available online at http://www.mtsuarts.com and
at the Tucker Theatre box office an hour before curtain times.
Tickets for “Einstein’s Dreams” also can be ordered by phone by calling
888-71-TICKETS (888-718-4253) 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
