Arena Theater at Wheaton College presents Well at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16 to Saturday, April 18 and Wednesday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25.
“Why are some people sick and other people well? And why do some sick people get better?” A plucky young woman, clutching her notecards, sets out to address these questions. The results are at once graceful and awkward, elegant and confusing, heartbreaking and hilarious. Just like life.
This production is directed by Mark Lewis.
In addition to the evening shows, a matinee show will be offered at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. The theater is located in Jenks Hall at 433 North Howard Street in Wheaton.
