Join Angelina Community Theatre for our 2024-2025 season opener, Wit!
This powerful show about life, death, and everything in between will run for three nights, starting Thursday, September 19 at 7:00pm. Wit is a one act play and runs approximately 45-50 minutes so there will be no intermission. This show is not suitable for children under 15.
We will not be charging admission for these performances, rather we ask that you pay what you can at the door. All proceeds will be divided between two local non profits, East Texas Alliance of Hope and Hospice in the Pines.
Show Synopsis
"Professor Vivian Bearing (Emma Thompson), an expert on the work of 17th-century British poet John Donne, has spent her adult life contemplating religion and death as literary motifs. Diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer, she consents to an aggressive and experimental form of chemotherapy administered by Dr. Kelekian (Christopher Lloyd) and his assistant, Dr. Posner (Jonathan M. Woodward), her former student. Facing death on a personal level, she reflects on her life and work."
