<p class="MsoNormal"><b>(NORTH CANTON, OH, Nov. 4, 2016)</b> – Kent State University at Stark’s theatrical season opens with
<i>What We’re Up Against</i> by Theresa Rebeck. The play will be performed on Nov. 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and on Nov. 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. in the Kent State Stark Theatre, 6000 Frank Ave., NW, in Jackson Township. American Sign Language interpretation
will be provided for the performance on Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Set in a highly competitive architecture firm, <em>What We're Up Against</em> takes a look at the complicated battle of the sexes raging across offices in Cubicle Land. The play is an insightful view of what it means to be female in a male-dominated
career and one woman’s response when she tires of slamming into the glass ceiling. <span class="panel-inner-wrap">Eliza, the intelligent and impetuous female associate at the male-dominated firm, challenges boundaries and sexist rules in her dog-eat-dog profession.
Watch as she takes a whack at outdated office politics to break through the glass ceiling and rocks the architecture world to its core in this in-your-face dark comedy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="panel-inner-wrap"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="panel-inner-wrap">Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $7 for non-Kent State students and senior citizens.
