Monday & Tuesday (7:30pm) Wednesday to Saturday (8:00pm) Pay-What-You-Can Saturday Matinee (2:00pm March 2, 2013) A brash, feisty hairdresser named Rita crashes into Dr. Frank Bryant’s life wanting an education. Rita is a breath of fresh air for Frank, she challenges the attitudes of a traditional university, teaching him to question his own understanding of his work and himself. Educating Rita will tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funnybone at the same time.
