South Bend Civic Theatre to Stage VENUS IN FUR, 4/10-26

South Bend Civic Theatre presents the erotic comedy/drama Venus in Fur, April 4-10, 2015 in the Warner Theatre, 403 N. Main Street, in South Bend. The play centers on Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale "Venus in Fur." Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress-oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas' interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. A mysterious, funny, erotic drama that represents yet another departure for the multifaceted David Ives.

Rick Ellis directs Anthony Panzica and Libby Unruh.

Reserved tickets are $21 with performances at 7:30 PM Wednesday through Saturday and 2:00 PM Sundays. For tickets, call the SBCT Box Office at 574-234-1112 or online at sbct.org.

Venus in Fur contains adult language and themes.

SBCT's full season sponsors are Villing and Company and Alfred and Martha Choitz, the Warner Series sponsor Nyloncraft, and the show sponsor is Cressy and Everett.
