Special staging highlights FIU's 'Night of the Iguana'

The stage setting will stretch across the center of the theatre with the audience seated on either side to create a direct actor-audience relationship. The play will run from May 5 to 9 and May 12 to 16 at 8 p.m. each evening in the University Theatre (VH 100). Call 552-2895 for tickets and reservations.
