‘Rabbit Hole’ opens tonight at Mount Union

ALLIANCE — The Mount Union College Department of Theatre will present “Rabbit Hole,” the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner written by David Lindsay-Abaire. Performances will be at 8 tonight through Saturday in the Rodman Playhouse.

In “Rabbit Hole,” a young couple has everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting apart. The play explores their search for comfort in the darkest places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.

Rodman Playhouse is on the corner of Simpson Street and Union Avenue on the Mount Union College campus. Tickets are $8. For more information or to order tickets, call (330) 821-2565.
