Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning play comes to Denison this autumn! In this searing comedy of manners, two couples meet to mediate a playground fight between their sons. The result? A whole lot of not-so-grown-up behavior! If boys will be boys, then what will their parents be? Find out in this romp through art history, politics, parenting, tantrums, tears, and a little bit of mayhem. 

This event is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required. Tickets will be available on Sept. 7 at artsatdenison.ludus.com.
