A reprisal of The Threepenny Opera was chosen as the department's bi-annual musical, because it was the first production presented in the Redfern Arts Center in the spring of 1981. The notorious Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill musical will be directed by Ron Spangler, and choreographed by Marcia Murdock on November 18-21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Main Theatre.

The Threepenny Opera is a masterpiece of musical theater that grew out of its writers' experience of Weimar Germany, the period between the World Wars when Germany struggled to establish a working democracy. First performed in Berlin in 1928, Brecht creates a world of beggars, thieves, and prostitutes in which there is no honor; every character would sell out any other if an advantage is to be gained. The play is a biting commentary on capitalism and explores the battle for superiority (morally and monetarily) of the classes - issues seemingly at the forefront of the current global economic conditions.

$16 general public, $14 seniors, KSC faculty and staff, and youth 17 and under, $6 KSC students
