Overview

Rita is a ballsy hairdresser looking for a better life. Frank is an English professor looking for a way to support his drinking habit. When Rita enters his musty office wanting to know “everything”, she breathes new life into Frank and the literature he thinks he knows so well. This beloved modern tale of the erosive nature of lives half-lived, the potential to awaken another’s soul, and the power of choice, EDUCATING RITA is coming to the Ensemble Theatre in an updated version. See it sparkle in a whole new light.
