2012 Nov 16

Taylor Anspach, a junior biology major of Milton, was cast in Lycoming College's production of Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera".

"The Threepenny Opera" is a dark and satirical musical set in the early 19th century, which follows Mack the Knife, the infamous criminal of the London underworld, as he thieves and hides from the law until his eventual capture. The story remains disturbingly relevant today, commenting on the corrupt nature of beggars, thieves, murderers and whores, and modern morality.

The play took place Nov. 14-17 at 8 p.m. in the Mary L. Welch Theatre. For more information, visit www.lycoming.edu/theatre.
