Posted By: Hija Chang on March 22, 2019 Texas Southern University Theatre presents “Home for Thanksgiving,” an engaging and humorous family drama written and directed by TSU Associate Professor of Theatre Thomas Meloncon. The story takes place in the modest home of Julia and Lola St. Julian in Dippity Do, Louisiana. Bobby St. Julian is the first in his family to attend college and is headed to the prestigious Princeton University. Something happens to Bobby at Princeton and when he returns home, the humble country boy has mutated into someone unrecognizable. “Home for Thanksgiving” will appeal to every emotion and run on the following dates and times in the Ollington Smith Playhouse (3100 Cleburne St. Houston, TX 77004): Thursday, April 11, at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, April 14, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $5 for students with a valid TSU ID.
