ACC presents “Reasons to be Pretty” Oct. 25 through Nov. 3 at the Rio Grande Campus theater.

Written by Broadway playwright Neil LaBute, the ACC production is directed by drama professor Marla Dean.

The play focuses on society’s obsession with physical appearance and “is not for the weak of heart,” Dean said. “As it has an adult theme throughout.”

Student tickets are $8 and general admission is $10. Proceeds will go toward scholarships for declared drama majors.

Director, Marla Dean, gives advice to Leah Christian, an ACC student auditioning for a lead role in the play, while assistant director Edith McDonald, and costume designer Christina Romero watch.
