Austinist Giveaway: The Way of the World

The UT Department of Theatre & Dance has cooked up a restoration comedy to cheer your winter evenings, and they want to send one lucky couple gratis! Crack your knuckles and cozy up to the harpsichord keyboard to enter below. First one in gets a pair of tickets to this Saturday's performance.

[Congratulations Winner!]

The production comes to you courtesy of the department's MFA candidates, and showcases the work of the class of 2007, with actors, set designers, and costumers getting in on the action. The latter includes some mighty fine looking work from Sarah Mosher. Those are some fancy duds!

The Way of the World is a classic restoration comedy, with a bachelorette, her bitter old aunt who wants to keep her—and her rather healthy dowry—in the family, and of course her one true love...a suitor the evil aunt deems inappropriate. Plenty of other love triangles and plot twists abound, culminating in a situation in which, as the press material states, hijinks ensue. Hijinks indeed!
