Beth Henley’s Tony-winning Broadway play, “Crimes of the Heart,” makes its SF State debut Thursday, Oct. 11.

A production of the Creative Arts Department, the play, a comedic drama about three sisters in a southern town, is directed by Rhonnie Washington, associate professor of theatre arts.

“Crimes of the Heart” has received both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award.

“The women [in the play] are written beautifully and honestly,” Sheena McIntyre said. McIntyre, who graduated from SF State last spring, is playing Meg, an alcoholic mental patient and one of the sisters.

“Crimes of the Heart” will run in the Little Theatre Oct. 11-13 and 18-20 at 8 p.m., and on Oct. 14 and 21 at 2 p.m.
