Two actors play 22 characters in this 70 minute show about two teenage girls who survive the torpedoing of a ship transporting British children to Canada during World War II. The tale is true and you can hear the actors talk about the back story of the actual harrowing event at a Talk Back after the show. There is one performance left of “Lifeboat” today, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Daum Theatre in Kolbe Hall on the UA campus. Tickets are $12 for general admission; $10 for seniors and UA faculty, staff, and alumni; and $6 for students. Give yourself time to get lost in Kolbe Hall because there are no signs to Daum Theatre.
