Theatre presents “Zoo Story”
In a quiet pocket of New York’s Central Park,
two dissimilar men have a chance meeting. A story of modern angst and
urban isolation, “The Zoo Story” is a one-act play

and shocks its audience with a surprising twist at the end.
The play will be staged in the Walton Fine Arts Center
Black Box Theatre, where the production will accommodate 80 audience
members a night. Seating is on a first come/first served basis. The
box office will open at 6:45 p.m. each night of the performance. General
admission is $3. The performances will be Feb. 26-28, beginning at 7
p.m.
The cast includes Al Berry as Peter and Dane Sanders
as Jerry. The crew members are Dr. Pat Farmer, Director; Lacey Kennedy,
Stage Manager; Professor Bruce Brown, Set and Costume Design/Technical
Director; India Judd, Light Design/House Manager; Shelly Muston, Sound
Design/Sound Board Operator; Saul Palencia, Graphic Design; Diana Farrow
and Barbara Manning, Wardrobe Crew members; Jessica Gay, Light Board
Operator; and Misti Ponder, Mandi Asmusen, Saul Palencia, and Maria
Jose Garcia, Front of House.
