California Lutheran University’s Main Stage Theatre will present "Hay Fever" during November. The show will open at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, and will continue with curtain at the same time during performances scheduled for Friday, Nov. 15, Saturday, Nov. 16, Thursday, Nov. 21, Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov 23. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 24. All performances will be in the Preus-Brandt Forum.

"Hay Fever," written by Noel Coward, depicts the story of the unusual and rude reception given to weekend guests by the ultra-Bohemian Bliss family. The mother is a retired actress; the father, a novelist, and their ill-mannered son and daughter. "Hay Fever" is Coward at his best. Directed by Michael Arndt, the play will feature a cast of CLU drama students.

Admission to the play is $8 or free with CLU ID.
