"For Better, For Worse" to Encore on St. Croix Sept. 28 and 29
The long-running comedy "For Better For Worse," by David Edgecombe, will encore on St. Croix with performances at 8 p.m. Sept. 28 and 29 at the Educational Complex in Kingshill.
"For Better For Worse" pokes fun at middle-class hypocrisies in a Caribbean society. Two youngsters, Sandra and Derek, decide they wish to have nothing to do with traditional notions of marriage and raising a family. But they soon find themselves in an enormous battle with Sandra's religious mother Ann, and even more so with Derek's politician father who's always on the lookout for votes. The end result is a comedic, sidesplitting look at life, love and society.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students and are now on sale now at the St. Croix campus UVI Bookstore, Sam Goody in Sunny Isle Shopping Center and John E's Gallery in Christiansted. For more information contact the Reichhold Center at 693-1550.
