It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but how much would you be willing to change about yourself for the one you love? That question will be explored in the theater production "The Shape of Things" Nov. 1-2 and 4-9 at The University of Memphis. All performances begin at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theater in the Theatre and Dance Building.

Written by Neil LaBute, the play is the ultimate fashion makeover story along the lines of "She's All That," but with a gender twist. Evelyn, an artist and graduate student, seduces Adam and convinces him to change almost everything about himself to win her love. The production is directed by graduate student Chris Arnold.

Tickets are $10 for the general public, $7 for non-U of M students and senior citizens. U of M students are admitted free with valid I.D.

To reserve tickets, call 678-2576. For more information about "The Shape of Things" or the Department of Theatre and Dance, call 678-3184.
