Are you looking for some good entertainment? Check out the new play "The Escape Thingy!"
The Escape Thingy
Los Angeles actor and playwright Deb Hiett will be in Brookings to celebrate the collegiate premier of her new play The Escape Thingy. Performance dates are February 22-24 at 7:30pm and February 25 at 2:00pm at the Fishback Studio Theatre in the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center on the South Dakota State University campus. There will be a public dialogue with Deb after the Friday performance.
In The Escape Thingy, two very different couples meet in an "Escape Room" game night, each needing very different types of escape. The clock is literally ticking as they attempt to solve the puzzles, distinguish facts from alternative facts, and weigh the risks of unlocking the door to the dangerous world outside.
Adults tickets are $22, Seniors/Military/SDSU Employee/Children are $20 and SDSU Students are FREE with Student ID. The Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center Box Office will open for in-person sales one week prior to the opening performance.
