Androcles and the Lion is a romp through the old fable of the slave who takes the thorn out of the lion's paw only to receive payment for his kindness when the lion spares his life later. This journey to friendship and freedom is told in commedia style with Fred Stuart as the miserly Pantalone, Jim Hopkins as the braggart Captain and Jeremy Kendall as Androcles.

The performances continue at 2 p.m. July 16-17, 23-24, 30-31 in Studio Theatre, third floor Temple Building.

Tickets are $15, $12 faculty/staff and senior citizen, $7 student/youth and available at the Lied Center Ticket Office, 472-4747 or 800-432-3231.
