Don’t miss the chilling Misery at Prairie Players Civic Theatre, now running through September 21 at 160 S. Seminary St. in Galesburg. Join Galesburg’s Morning News as we talk with actor James Hutchings (Paul Sheldon), board member Cheri Siebken, and set designer Charlie Vestal about this gripping stage adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. Dive into the intense story of novelist Paul Sheldon, trapped by his obsessive fan Annie Wilkes in a remote cabin, brought to life in a 96-seat blackbox theater for a “PG-13 plus” experience (recommended for older teens and adults due to intense language and graphic scenes). Showtimes are September 12, 13, 19, and 20 at 7:30 p.m., and September 14 and 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $10 for students—get yours at PrairiePlayers.com!. Plus, learn about auditions for the next show, the comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner, on September 22 and 23 at 6:00 p.m., open to all experience levels for a cast of 23.
