Mick Simon plays Matt Friedman.

Theatre Hopkins will open its 2007 season on Friday, Feb. 16, with Talley's Folly by Lanford Wilson. Wilson's 1980 Pulitzer Prize-winning play takes place on July 4, 1944, as Matt Friedman travels from St. Louis to Lebanon, Mo., to propose to Sally Talley, the independent-minded daughter of a socially prominent family. The two-person cast pairs Mick Simon, who appeared in Theatre Hopkins' production of Travesties, and Stephanie McLaughlin Ranno, making her Theatre Hopkins debut.

The production will run only two weekends, through Sunday, Feb. 25, at the Swirnow Theater in the Mattin Arts Center on the Homewood campus. Curtain time is 8 p.m. for Friday and Saturday performances, 2 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Tickets are $15, with student rush tickets available for $5 at curtain time, if space allows. For reservations or information, contact Theatre Hopkins at 410-516-7159 or [email protected].

Later in the season, Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles will run for three weekends, opening June 15.
