SELINSGROVE -- The Susquehanna University Theater Department presents "The Night of the Iguana" at the Degenstein Center Theater today through Sunday at 8 p.m. nightly.

Written by Tennessee Williams and based on his 1948 short story, "Night of the Iguana" is a psychological drama of carnality, repression and emotional conflict. The play appeared on Broadway in 1961, followed by two film adaptations including a critically acclaimed production starring Richard Burton and Ava Gardner.

Directed by Dr. W. Douglas Powers, the show features a cast of 14 actors including some of the department's most accomplished performers. Senior Chris Payseur plays Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon, alongside Melissa J. Swartz as Maxine Faulk, John O'Connor as Nonno and Julie Ek as Hannah Jelkes.

Admission is free to Susquehanna University students. Additional tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for non-SU students. Tickets can be purchased at the Degenstein Center Box Office by calling 372-ARTS or can be purchased at the door.
