Theatre tickets at stake in trivia contest

University Players is offering DailyNews readers a chance to win two tickets to see its production of Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play, continuing through September 30 in the Essex Hall Theatre.

This dark and funny musical tale explores how today’s pop culture can evolve myths of tomorrow, as characters thrown together by global catastrophe retell favourite episodes of The Simpsons animated television series — in particular the 1993 spoof “Cape Feare.”

Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m.; matinees Saturday and Sunday are at 2 p.m. For more information or tickets, call 519-253-3000, ext. 2808, or visit www.UniversityPlayers.com.
