The Starkville Community Theatre will continue its run of its final season play “Second Samuel” tonight.
“Second Samuel,” written by Pamela Parker, takes place in a small Georgian town in 1948. Parker will host a talk-back session with the cast of the play after tonight’s show and will speak during the Cotton District Arts Festival on Saturday.
The cast are either graduates of Mississippi State University or involved with campus in some way and will attend the arts festival to participate in several performances for the community.
Pattye Archer, the director of the play, said the play is a sweet story with a good message.
“We are so excited to have the playwright of our production here with us to share this exciting weekend,” she said.
The SCT members hope to see a great turnout from the Starkville community.
The play opened Thursday and will run through April 22 for Super Bulldog Weekend, and shows will also take place April 24 through 28. All the shows wil be held at 7:30 p.m., except for Sunday’s performance at 2 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased by calling 323-6855 or coming to the Playhouse on Main Street, where the shows will be held. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for nonstudents.
