Hickory – The Hickory Community Theatre is hosting another of its “Fan Club Thursdays” on April 19 for True West, a dark comedy by Sam Shepard currently on stage in the Firemen’s Kitchen. There are three other performances this week as well.
“Fan Club Thursday” means the Theatre will open at 6:30pm instead of 7 with munchies and a no-host bar, as well as a chance to meet members of the cast. The performance begins at 7:30. Those attending the 6:30 – 7:00pm reception will also receive a glimpse of the set for Ragtime, coming up next at the Theatre.
True West plays through April 29, with performances on Thursdays (April 19 & 26) at 7:30; Fridays and Saturdays (Apr 20, 21, 27 & 28) at 8pm; and Sundays (Apr 22 & 29) at 2:30pm. This production is rated R for strong adult language.
Tickets are $16 for adults. Seniors, students and youth (18 and under) are $14. Tickets are now on sale online at hickorytheatre.org or through the Theatre box office, in person or by phone at 828-328-2283. Box office hours are 12-5 Wednesday through Friday.
