Theresa Rebeck's MAURITIUS opens Thursday, October 15th at Greenville's Professional Theatre, Centre Stage.  The show runs until October 31st. 

Strap yourself in, sit back and enjoy the fast-paced cat-and-mouse game played out by a cast that has been described as Greenville's 'A-list'. Two half-sisters inherit a rare stamp collection that just happens to contain two of the most valuable stamps in the world. Add three less than reputable dealers and you have suspenseful entertainment at its best, as the characters cross and double cross each other in a con game that gives you a whole new perspective on the seemingly benign sport of stamp collecting.  This is MAURITIUS.

Tickets are $25 for adults, with discounts for students and seniors. All seats reserved. The box office can be reached at 864.233.6733, 2-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and 2 hours before performances. For more information, visit the Center Stage website at http://centrestage.org/

Founded in 1983, Centre Stage is a year-round, 285-seat regional theater offering a wide range of entertainment within easy walking distance of historic Falls Park and the many shops and restaurants that line downtown Greenville's Main Street corridor. Augmenting its subscription season of music, comedy and drama, the theater also hosts art exhibitions, chamber music concerts, independent film screenings, guest lectures, galas and other special events inside a state-of-the-art performance facility noted for its unique configuration, comfort and intimacy.

Today, Centre Stage productions draw on both local and regional talent and its programming places particular emphasis on new works and established works of the modern repertoire. Its annual New Play Festival (NPF) receives hundreds of submissions from playwrights around the country and abroad. NPF finalists are presented in readers theater format during the week-long festival and each year's winning entry receives a full production during the subsequent season. Playwright Lee Blessing (2007 NPF Playwright-in-Residence) has described the festival as "one of the most important elements of contemporary play development (in) the region."
