Flagler College Theater Arts Honor Society Alpha Psi Omega has been hard at work to bring Neil LaBute’s “Reasons to be Pretty” to the main stage Sept. 14-16.

“What is pretty? What does it all mean? We all have our own different perception of what beautiful is,” said director and Alpha Psi Omega President John Labman. “It’s a pretty relateable theme for everybody.”

This dramatic interpretation hopes to immerse the audience in the world of a troubled relationship between main characters Greg and Steph, played by Alpha Psi Omega treasurer and secretary Micah Laird and Jessica Wolford.

“I know that it’s something that I have personally felt,” says Jessica Wolford about the shows theme. “I am sure that a lot of people can relate to Steph, and to all the characters in this show.”

Proceeds of the show will go towards Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, as well as funds for future performances.

Tickets are $5 for all three days and can be purchased in the box office outside of the Flagler College Auditorium.
