The theater is an effort of Weber State College students, Adelle Barnett, Larry Fulton, Ray Myers and Larry West.
The Saturday performance is a March of Dimes benefit, and formal attire is requested.
"The Fantasticks" cast includes Mary Jane Hoffman, Kevin Wheelwright, Larry West, Jerry Buller, Ray Myers, Kenneth Post, Mike Peterson, Larry Fulton and Patty Daniels.
