Performing Arts at Oakton Stages 'Happy End'
Happy End, a contemporary sequel to The Threepenny Opera, will be presented March 9 - 12, and March 16 - 19, in the Footlik Theater at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
Set in Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties, Happy End pits organized crime against the Salvation Army. Eventually, both sides unite in an effort to battle a common enemy - capitalism. The play debuted in 1929, with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht and music by Kurt Weill.
Performances of Happy End are 8 p.m., Fridays, March 10 and 17; 8 p.m., Saturdays, March 11 and 18; 2 p.m., Sundays, March 12 and 19; and 8 p.m., Thursday, March 16. Tickets are $12; $10 for students and seniors; and $8 for groups of 15 or more.
A $5 preview performance will be staged at 8 p.m., Thursday, March 9.
