Tickets are now available on the online box office for “Tootsie.” Tickets will be $20 for adults and $15 for high school and younger. The show is not recommended for children under 10, as the show features adult themes, language, and adult situations.

Producer and director Don Grant Zellmer said, “We selected Tootsie, because it’s a brand new show. It recently had a showing up in Chicago and we’ll be the first to premiere it in the Illinois Valley. It’s also a comedy, so we hope it attracts a large crowd.”

For the audience, Zellmer said, “I think they’ll come away from this very entertained. This is a comedy musical with a big emphasis on the comedy. We hope they enjoy it and come back for the next show.”

“Tootsie” show dates are April 11-14 and 18-21. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. for Sundays with all shows in the Mary Margaret Weeg Cultural Centre on campus. The theatre department is led by David Kuester.
