Twenty-five years ago the Black Hole Theatre Company performed the world première of then-faculty member Carol Shields’s play Departures and Arrivals, and this year it will open its season with it on November 17.

Departures and Arrivals was Shields’s first produced play; it was written and staged while she was a professor of English at the University of Manitoba.

Performances run from November 17-21, and November 24-28. Shows start at 8 p.m., except for on November 17 and 24 when the curtain goes up at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $11; $9 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at the door or by calling the box office at 474-6880.

The Black Hole Theatre is located on the lower level of University College, Dysart Road, Fort Garry Campus.  Free evening parking is available in Lot “B”.
