The Waynesburg University Players will present their annual fall play Wednesday, Nov. 7, through Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the Goodwin Performing Arts Center.
The play, “The Boys Next Door,” written by Tom Griffin, tells the story of four mentally disabled men who live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly burned out young social worker.
“This is an important and valuable play for actor and audience alike,” said Edward L. Powers, professor of theatre and director of the Theatre Program.
For more information, contact Powers at 724-852-3226.
Founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Waynesburg University is located on a traditional campus in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania, with three additional sites located in the Pittsburgh region. The University is one of only 22 Bonner Scholar schools in the country, offering local, regional and international opportunities to touch the lives of others through service.
