San Jacinto South's theater is bringing Wait Until Dark to the stage. The play hits the stage Nov. 18-21 8 p.m. and the Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. In the Fine Arts building this is an innovative, highly entertaining and suspenseful thriller about a blind housewife, Susy Hendrix.

Independent and resourceful, Susy is learning to cope with her blindness, which resulted from a recent accident. Her difficult, slightly unreliable young neighbor Gloria with whom she has an exasperated but lovingly maternal relationship aids her. Susy's life is changed as she is terrorized by a group of criminals who believe she has hidden a baby doll used by them to smuggle heroin into the country.

Alone in her apartment and cut-off from the outside world, Susy must fight for her life against a gang of ruthless criminals. This play has some dark and frightening scenes that may not be suitable for children.

Tickets are $5. For more information call extension 3497.

Once again, it is never too early to start signing up for classes.
