EDINBURG — The UTRGV Theatre Department begins their theatrical season on October 1 at 30 pm with a free play for all ages, Tomás and the Library Lady by José Cruz González. “We wanted to welcome all audiences in the community back to the Albert L Jeffers Theatre and that meant a play intended to appeal to all ages. It was important that we have something for children, too,” said Peter Mikolasky, interim chair of theater. “We also decided that after all the upheaval and difficulty of the last year, that we should offer the first two shows for free to the community.” Audiences of all ages are welcome to watch the show, which will be performed in the Albert L Jeffers Theatre, located in the ELABS building (just on the other side of the covered walkway from parking lot E7 at the corner of Sugar Road and University Dr).
