Theatre Westminster will present Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart April 14-17 in Beeghly Theater.

The final production of the season is the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award winner.  Described as "warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative," the play examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.

Curtain time Thursday-Saturday is 7:30 p.m.; Sunday's matinee is at 2:30 p.m.  Reservations can be made online by following the "ticket reserve" link at www.westminster.edu/drama or by calling the Box Office at (724) 946-7241.  Prices for general admission adults are $10, and senior citizens and non-Westminster students are $7.
