The Gallery series of the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts will present Champagne Gods, a student production written by Emily Dendinger and directed by Kristin Clippard, at 8 p.m. Thursday–Saturday, Dec. 6-8, in Theatre B of the UI Theatre Building.

Set among the marble halls of the British Museum on the night of a New Year's Eve fancy dress gala, Holly has made the greatest archaeological discovery of the 21st century—an oracle of the god Apollo that shows you the person with whom you’re meant to spend your life. However, when Holly decides that there’s more to life than archaeology, her colleague Will takes it upon himself to change her mind. A throwback to the screwball comedies of the 1920s and '30s, Champagne Gods is a romantic romp about fate, farce, and fidelity.

Admission is free for UI students with a valid UI ID and $5 for general audiences.

The Department of Theatre Arts is a unit of the Division of Performing Arts in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For accommodations at the event, contact the department at 319-335-2700. For a UI arts calendar and details about upcoming events, visit the new Arts Iowa website.
