One Act Comedic Show to Occur April 19-21

A one act comedic opera show, “Speed Dating Tonight!,” will be shown at 8 p.m. April 19-21 in Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall.

“Speed Dating Tonight!” is a contemporary opera centered around the quest for romance, love and companionship. The opera follows participants and staff as they briefly interact with each other, sometimes with success and sometimes with failure, almost always leading to a comedic realization of the complexities of modern dating and romance. Directed by Jeffrey Seppala, “Speed Dating Tonight!” was conceived by Dean Anthony, with music and words by Michael Ching.

The show is sponsored by the Department of Music and is appropriate for all ages. Tickets are $5 for adults and free for children and will be available 30 minutes before show time outside the Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall.
