Nathaniel Hawthorne's dramatic morality play comes alive in this contemporary adaptation by Phyllis Nagy. Should Hester confess who the father of her illegitimate baby is or should she boldly wear the scarlet letter as a daily reminder of her disgrace in the community. Hester's struggle makes us all examine the meaning of morality in our contemporary world. This production is presented as part of the events of the 27th Annual Humanities Festival. There will be a talk back session with cast and crew after the Friday, February 24 performance.

About the Casper College Patron Program
The Patron Program provides and additional source of funding to help support theatre and dance at Casper College. In the past, patron funds have been used to help inaugurate the summer theatre program and pay professional guest artists, provide scholarships, pay royalties, operating expenses, and purchase needed equipment to enhance theatre productions.

Patrons Receive the Following Benefits

• Tickets to each of the four main productions each season with seating in any section.
• The exclusive privilege of calling the box office one-week before tickets officially go on sale to arrange seats, giving patrons first seating choice for all performances.
• The ability to purchase any number of additional tickets during this special week.
• Tax deduction above the cost of tickets.
• Mailed reminders for each production.

How Do We Use Your Money?
Since the Krampert Theatre Patron Program was developed during the first year of the operation of the Gertrude Krampert Theatre in 1985-86, it has become the major factor in the success of the theatre (now theatre and dance) program at Casper College. Through the generosity of our patrons the program has been able to grow, attracting high quality theatre and dance students.

In addition, the theatre productions have become a pillar of the arts scene in central Wyoming. Through the years the fundraising program has been guided by community volunteers; our Casper College Theatre Advisory Board. The Advisory Board has prioritized expenditure of donated funds as follows:

• Scholarships:
  The coming year will be the sixth year the Board has supported a large number of tuition scholarships. When our dance program really began to develop beginning about six years ago, there was no longer enough scholarship funding available to cover the increased student need. The Board made helping students its first priority and now patron funds help 20 students per year.
• Guest Artists:
  A cornerstone of the theatre and dance educational program is exposure of students to the professional worlds of theatre and dance.
• Play Production:
  A portion of every donation is used to supplement the cost of producing plays. This is the cost of the ticket portion of each donation. For example, the royalty costs of Little Shop of Horrors were paid by the patron program.
