November 29-December 2, 2012
Haslam Family Flexible Theatre
Maryville College Theatre Department Presents "The Sniper's Nest" by Lisa Soland

Lisa Soland's new play "The Sniper's Nest" dramatizes the real life love affair between double agent Lee Harvey Oswald and young scientist Judyth Baker during the summer of 1963 in New Orleans. Sparks fly as the two team up in a dark tale of espionage, still, to this day, kept secret from the public for reasons much more sinister than covering up an assassination of a president.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, MC Theatre alumni and area students. Free for MC students, faculty and staff, although a printed ticket is required for admission. Tickets are on sale now.
For more information contact the Clayton Center Box Office at (865) 981-8590.
