The Contemporary American Theater Festival has an enticing lineup of plays for its 2007 Season. In its 17th year hosted by Shepherd University, CATF will produce fresh, dynamic works that will encourage the audience to “thinktheater.”

Audiences this year will experience 1001 by Jason Grote; The Pursuit of Happiness, a new comedy by Richard Dresser; the world premier of Lonesome Hollow by Lee Blessing; and My Name is Rachel Corrie from the writings of Rachel Corrie, edited by Alan Rickman and Katherine Viner. All are powerful stories that will stimulate a dialogue throughout the community.

Group ticket sales are available for 10 to 25 percent off regular ticket prices. Contact Sandy, our Group Sales Coordinator, at 304-876-8321 or visit www.catf.org for more information.
