The Black Hills State University Theatre Society presented their performance of the British farce “See How They Run” on Nov. 15, 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre in Woodburn Hall.
“See How They Run” is a dysfunctional comedy which contains mishaps and mistaken identities. The plot involves an American actress, a maid, an American soldier, a village spinster, a Russian spy, a bishop and multiple vicars, according to the BHSU Theatre Program website.
The performance was open to students and community members alike. Admission was free for BHSU students, $5 for adults and $3 for children.
Every year, the Theatre Society performs a play which is released in November. “See How They Run” was chosen as the 2018 play.
