Singing telegram awaits patrons of
'The Birthday Party'
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A unique birthday gift awaits patrons at Purdue Theatre's upcoming
production of Harold Printer's "The Birthday Party."
Each night of the production, a singing telegram featuring an original song will be
delivered to an audience member celebrating a birthday.
Only one singing telegram will be delivered each night. Arrangements will be made
on a first-come, first-served basis. For more details, contact Lori Sparger, Purdue
Theatre publicist, (765) 494-3084; e-mail, thtrasst@purdue.edu.
Sparger said that during auditions for the play, one actress delivered a singing telegram
that she had written. As the director began organizing the show, he decided it would
be a great idea to include such telegrams in the productions and deliver them to
audience members.
The show will be presented on The Experimental Theatre stage in Stewart Center at
8 p.m. April 16-25. A matinee also will be offered at 2:30 p.m. April 25, and the
final performance will be at 6 p.m. April 26. Sneak previews will be offered at 7:30
p.m. April 14 and 15.
Tickets are $7 for students and senior citizens, $11 for others, and $4.50 for the
sneak previews. They are available at the Loeb Box Office, (765) 494-3933. For discounted
group ticket sales, call (765) 494-3084.
