"Ladyhouse Blues" in encore performances Feb. 6-8

Three encore performances of the Brigham Young University production of "Ladyhouse Blues" by Kevin O'Morrison will be performed Thursday through Saturday (Feb. 6-8) in the Margetts Theatre at 7:30 p.m.

Directed by Laurie Harrop-Purser, the cast of "Ladyhouse Blues" is performing for preparation to compete at the American College Theatre Festival held at Utah State University in mid-February.

Tickets at $12 for the general public and $9 with a student or faculty ID are available in the Fine Arts Ticket Office, (801) 378-4322 or at http://www.byu.edu/hfac

"Ladyhouse Blues" is the poignant story of five women living under one roof in St. Louis waiting for their men to return home from World War I. "Ladyhouse Blues" chronicles the parallel changes in the lives of these women and in America's destiny.

"'Ladyhouse Blues' is a tribute to women--particularly to mothers--who have a great capacity for love and yet fear inadequacy in loving," said Harrop-Purser.
