Designer Greg Gillette adjusts one of Brandie Heims’ 1749 costumes for Central College’s play “Legacy of Light.”
Theatre Central will host four performances of Karen Zacarias’s “Legacy of Light” Nov. 20-23 in the Kruidenier Center at Central College. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m.
“Legacy of Light” is a time-traveling comedy, which intertwines the stories of two female physicists from different eras. The legacies of Emilie du Chatelet, an 18th-century French scientist, and Olivia Hasting Brown, an astronomer in Princeton, N.J., collide in this play about the search for self-discovery, love, motherhood and scientific immortality.
The cast includes freshmen Emma Simmons, Brandie Heims and Dionne Riley; sophomore Jake Anderson; and seniors Griffin Hammel and Clifton Antione. Central graduate Ryan Rumery ’99 is contributing original music for the play. The show will be directed by Ann Wilkinson, instructor of theatre.
Cost for general admission is $6. Student and senior citizen tickets are $3 and admission is free with a Central ID. Tickets are available at the Maytag Information Booth or by calling 641-628-9000.
