UK Theatre to Open New Season With 'Drunken City'

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 1, 2018) —  University of Kentucky Department of Theatre and Dance will start its 2018-19 season this week with a production on the phenomenon that is bachelor/bachelorette parties with "The Drunken City." The play will run Oct. 4-14, at the Guignol Theatre.

”The Drunken City” is about three 20-somethings who head to the big city for a friend's bachelorette party. Just like any other bachelorette party, the evening becomes a little wild. After one too many drinks, decisions were made that were not the best. How did they handle the pressure? You will have to come see for yourself.

"The Drunken City" will take center stage 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 4-6 and 11-13, and again 2 p.m Sunday, Oct. 14, in Guignol. Tickets for the production are $15 for general admission and $10 for students who present a valid student ID at the ticket office. Tickets can be purchased at the Singletary Center for the Arts box office during operating hours, by phone at 859-257-4929 or online at www.scfatickets.com. A fee and sales tax will be added to the transaction upon purchase.
