The production will run on February 23 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. and will include a matinee at 2 p.m. on February 26. Performances will take place at STC’s Cooper Center for the Performing Arts Black Box Theater at 3200 W. Pecan Blvd. in McAllen. In George Orwell’s classic, the animals on a farm drive out their master and take over and run the farm for themselves. The experiment is successful, except that someone has to take the deposed farmer’s place. Leadership devolves upon the pigs, which are cleverer than the rest of the animals. Unfortunately, their character is not equal to their intelligence. “Animal Farm continues to be a classic story and one which I believe is still relevant today,” said Joel Jason Rodriguez, the play’s director. “I wanted to direct this play for some time, and I am happy we were able to include it this season. I believe the audience will appreciate our approach to this production when they see it.” General admission tickets cost $5. Seating is limited due to the capacity of the black box studio so advanced purchases are encouraged. Tickets can be purchased online at www.southtexascollege.edu/go/theatre.
