Limestone Theatre to present Tony Award winning "God Of Carnage"

Limestone College's Department of Theatre will present the play “God of Carnage," Oct. 2-4. Each of the three performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Limestone College Theatre, located at 130 Leadmine Street. The production is recommended for mature audiences.

Yasmina Reza’s absurdist-inspired comedy centers around two couples who meet to discuss an altercation between their two sons. According to the play’s director, Dr. Carrie Ameling, what begins as a civilized conversation on decorum and cordiality quickly escalates into comedic mayhem.

Reza received the Tony for Best Play in 2009 and Marcia Gay Harden won Best Actress in a Play for her portrayal of Veronica.  Other cast members, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels, and Hope Davis received Tony Award nominations as well.

The ensemble cast from Limestone includes Jada Bell (from Buffalo, SC) as Veronica, Ashley McHam (Gaffney) as Annette, Trey Tubb (Gaffney) as Michael, and Zach White (Gaffney) as Alan.

Tickets at the door are $8 for adults, $6 for students with a valid ID and for senior citizens 65 and over. Limestone College students, faculty, and staff admitted for free. Visit www.showtix4u.com to order tickets in advance.
