S.A. Weakley, a speech and theatre instructor at Northwest, will be in charge of lighting design for the play.

The play, which debuted in 1773, was written by Irish playwright Oliver Goldsmith.

“Most everyone has been the target of practical jokes, and most have been out on blind dates," says Enotes.com editor Marie Rose Napierkowski. "Goldsmith bases his 1773 comedy on two such incidents, creating a complicated, convoluted plot based on miscommunication and mistaken identities.”

Scott will also serve as scenic and sound designer of the production.

Production dates for the play are Thursday, May 3 - Saturday, May 5, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 6, 2:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium on the Senatobia campus.
