Students' production aimed at sweethearts

Taking someone to watch live theatre while enjoying sweet treats will help some students travel to a competition.

University School of Colorado Springs drama students will perform a sweethearts dessert theater this weekend to help with costs for a competition at Walt Disney World in Florida. "That Thing Called Love" will include short versions of "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer's Night Dream."

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday. Students will perform solo and duo competition pieces before the shows. Tickets are $5, with coffees and desserts available for purchase.

Contact the school at 302-3751. Ticket reservations are available online here. The school is at 2713 West Cucharras St.
