Tickets are $33 for ISU students and range among $24, $39, $56 and $68. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster and also between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Stephens Auditorium ticket office.

C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters—Tuesday, April 14 @ 7:30 p.m.

From the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters makes its premiere performance in Ames.

With a piercing insight into human nature, The Screwtape Letters creates a morally inverted universe, set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the “Enemy” and the devil is referred to as “Our Father below.” The play follows His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Satan’s top psychiatrist, who profoundly understands human nature, and his slavish creature-demon Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, how to damn the soul and ruin the life of an unsuspecting human on earth in this topsy-turvy world.

Along with The Chronicles of Narnia, The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters is deemed one of Lewis’ most influential and popular works.

Tickets range among $40, $50 and $60 and are available via Ticketmaster and between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stephens Auditorium ticket office.
