Special sneak peek Sept. 15 of ‘Vote!’

FROM RICE NEWS STAFF REPORTS

Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) will present the Southwest regional premiere of a musical written by two Rice university alums. “Vote! A New Musical” by Ryann Feruson ’04 and Steven Jamail ’02, will be presented by an all-teen cast Sept. 16-17 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.

Rice students, faculty and alumni can get a sneak preview at 7 p.m. Sept. 15. Discount tickets for this performance are $20 each at www.tuts.com/promo or by calling TUTS’ Group Sales Department at 713-558-8888; use promotional code VOTERICE.

“Vote! A New Musical” is a comedy that focuses on the electoral process from the perspective of three high school seniors. The race forces the candidates to consider the meaning of each vote and the importance of distinctive character in politics. While some of the students have no problem gaining approval from their peers, others act as though they’ll stop at nothing to win the coveted position of student council president. In the process of the candidates trying to please everybody, the election unravels, alliances change and the candidates learn what it takes to make themselves happy — and the value of individual dreams.
