PJC presents 'Speed the Plow'

The Pensacola Junior College Lyceum series will present the play "Speed-the-Plow" 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23-25, at the Hagler Auditorium, Pensacola campus.

When Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Mamet's satirical play opened in New York in 1988, Newsweek described it as: "A brilliant black comedy, a dazzling dissection of Hollywood cupidity…"

At the heart of it all: Hollywood producers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox engage in a verbal boxing match centered on the eternal debate of art versus money. Mamet also is author of "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "American Buffalo" - and screenplays "The Untouchables," "House of Games" and "The Verdict." These days, he is known as cocreator of CBS's hit "The Unit."

General admission tickets are $10; seniors, children, non- PJC students, $8; Senior Club members, PJC staff, faculty, retirees, $6; PJC students, free. VISA, MasterCard, American Express, cash or check are accepted.

Purchase tickets at the Lyceum Box Office in the Ashmore Fine Arts Auditorium, Building 8, 1000 College Blvd. For more information, call 484- 1847.
