The first presentation of Missouri University of Science and Technology’s 2009-10 Campus Performing Arts Series will be a stage adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic “Of Mice and Men.” The performance will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, in Leach Theatre of Castleman Hall, 10th and Main streets in Rolla.
 
Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for students. Leach Theatre is offering a $5 per ticket discount for groups of 10 or more. The first 75 tickets for Missouri S&T students are free to this event.

For more information about the Missouri S&T Campus Performing Arts Series, call the Leach Theatre Box Office at 573-341-4219 or go online to leachtheatre.mst.edu.
 
The captivating tale chronicles the powerful friendship between two migrant workers, George and Lennie, as they toil to make their dream of a place they can call their own a reality. But as all too often happens, “the best laid schemes o’ mice and men” go awry in this timeless American masterpiece. The performance is by Virginia’s 75-year-old Barter Theatre touring company.
 
Leach Theatre will offer discounted tickets through its “Back Row Club,” one hour prior to the event should tickets remain for the show. The seats in the last row of the theater will be sold for $10 each prior to the performance.
 
“Of Mice and Men” is sponsored in part by Robert and Susan Hooper. Additional funding for the Missouri S&T Campus Performing Arts Series is provided by the Missouri S&T Endowment for the Performing Arts, the Missouri Arts Council and the Maxwell C. Weiner Endowment for the Performing Arts.
