The Classic Theatre of San Antonio is getting ready for its second production of their 9th season this week. This Friday November 4 is opening night of ‘School for Scandal’ by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. This comedy dates back to the 1700s and is still being performed due to its relevance to any time period. In this updated version it goes deep into a social network of outrageous gossip and lustful deceit. Sir Oliver, a long lost uncle, returns home in disguise with the intent of finding out what is really going on with his nephews. What he discovers is his dear friend Peter Teazle in marital anguish and being persecuted by a team of fools and scandal-mongers. It stars John O’Neill and Christi Eanes and runs from Friday November 4 through Sunday November 20, 2016. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 8p.m. and Sunday at 3p.m.

Ticket prices for ‘School for Scandal’ are $25 for general admission, $20 for senior, military, educator or SATCO and $10 for students. They may be purchased online or by calling the box office at (210) 589-8450. There will be a complimentary champagne reception on opening night Friday November 4. Following the Sunday November 20 show at 3p.m. there will be a ‘Community Conversations with Classic’ discussion about the play and how it connects with modern day scandals.
