"Cyrano" Rescheduled for February 12Miami University Middletown at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12 in Johnston Hall. This program was originally scheduled for Feb. 5 and was rescheduled due to inclement weather. Tickets originally issued for the Feb. 5 performance will be honored at the Feb. 12 show.
"Cyrano" is an adaptation of Edmond Rostand's immortal play "Cyrano de Bergerac." Cyrano's extremely large nose keeps him from expressing his love to the beautiful Roxanne, as he believes his ugliness prevents him from being loved.
Tickets for this performance are $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens over 65 and Miami faculty/staff, and free for students and youth 18 and younger (ticket required). Tickets are available online at www.tickets.muohio.edu or by calling (513) 727-3383. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Shriver Center box office in Oxford or from the cashier's office in Johnston Hall at Miami Middletown.
The Miami University Middletown Artist and Lecture Series also includes comedian Norm MacDonald on March 27 and country star Marty Stuart on May 8.
