Valdosta State University Theatre and Dance will present “The Gorges Motel” Sept. 19-24 in the Lab Theatre. Tickets are on sale now.

The contemporary play is, as The New York Times called it, “a tantalizing, comic daisy chain of (seven) short plays by six playwrights” presented in one extended act.

In “The Gorges Motel,”“Lives intersect in comic and dramatic fashion in a motel that has seen better days in Watkins Glen, New York,” according to Dramatists.com. “Break-ups and a wedding, a rapping reverend and a drone attack, the ridiculous and the sublime all come together in one unlikely place.”

H. Duke Guthrie, professor of theatre and director of “The Gorges Motel,” said the colorful array of characters offers something for everyone.

“The characters are all attempting to move forward (in both comic and serious ways) with their lives, and the wide assortment of personalities and storylines ensures an engaging experience for every audience member,” he said.

Performances of “The Gorges Motel” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, through Saturday, Sept. 21; at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22; and at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, and Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Individual tickets are $17 for adults, $16 for senior citizens, $13 for children and non-VSU students, and free for all VSU students with a valid 1Card. Tickets for groups of 10 or more people at a single performance are $12 per person.
