Americas obsession with beauty is depicted in Reasons to Be Pretty, presented at Southeast Missouri State Universitys River Campus at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12-14 in the Wendy Kurka Rust Flexible Theatre.A love story about the impossibility of love, Reasons to Be Pretty is a romantic drama focusing on the extreme appeal to physical appearances. Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph, also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, a tirade of drama is set loose.This is a gorgeous play about the hopelessness of romance, said Dr. Kenneth Stilson, chair of The Conservatory of Theatre and Dance.Reasons to Be Pretty is the final segment in Neil LaButes trilogy following The Shape of Things and Fat Pig.TicketsTickets may be purchased by contacting the River Campus Box Office, located in the Cultural Arts Center, 518 S.
