The romantic drama “Constellations” will conclude its two-week run with four performances this week at Forge Theatre on the University of Idaho campus.
The play is being staged by the Idaho Repertory Theatre and stars UI theater professors Kelly Quinnett and Craig A. Miller. The 80-minute play is directed by Jere Lee Hodgin. “Constellations” was written by Nick Payne and was described by The New York Times as sexy, accessible and emotionally devastating.
“Nick Payne’s thrilling and thoughtful romance opens with the provocative question: ‘Do you know why it’s impossible to lick the tips of your elbows?’ Who wouldn’t want to stick around to find out why?” said Robert Caisley, producing director of IRT.
Tickets cost between $5 and $25, or free for UI students, and are available at bit.ly/3O0lFWU. Forge Theatre is at 404 Sweet Ave., Moscow. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Rockin’ the Ridge, a benefit concert featuring three bands, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday at Burnt Ridge Bed and Breakfast south of Troy.
