Theatre Productions
Oct 21 - 23, 2021. All showings are 7:30 pm. 

The Women of Lockerbie is a poetic drama that explores how different communities can overcome a horrific act of hate with an act of love. Based on the true story of the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, The Women of Lockerbie begins on the anniversary of the crash, seven years later, as Americans and Scots alike struggle to deal with the magnitude of what has happened to them. Written in the structure of a classic Greek tragedy, this beautiful story answers the question, "What do you do when your world falls apart? What do you DO?"

This production will be performed on Oct 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, at 7:30 PM in the Watson Theater on the Coker University campus. Admission is $10 Adults, $5 non-Coker students and Seniors over 65, Free for Coker Faculty, Staff, and Students with proper ID.
