FAYETTE — The next show coming to the Little Theatre stage for the 2021-22 season is Anna Ziegler’s Boy, directed for the Central Methodist University audience by Professor Lonna Wilke.
Inspired by a true story, Boy explores the complicated terrain of trying to find love in a new body, and the inextricable bonds between doctor and patient. In the 1960s, a well-intentioned doctor convinces the parents of a male infant to raise their son as a girl after a terrible accident. Two decades later, the repercussions of that choice continue to unfold.
Anna Geurkink, a music education major from Perryville, will be a member of the crew in the role of box office and marketing.
The show will premiere at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 2, followed by 7:30 p.m. shows on Friday and Saturday, and then a 1:30 p.m. show on Sunday. Shows will be livestreamed and open to in-house audiences at the Little Theatre. Call the box office at 660-248-6281 for tickets and more information.
Since its founding in 1854, CMU has evolved into a university that confers master’s, bachelor’s and associate’s degrees through programming on its main campus in Fayette, Mo., and through extension sites and online.
