In the spirit of the upcoming U.S. presidential election, the Sweet Briar College Theatre Department is staging the nostalgic musical revue "Tintypes" for its fall production in Murchison Lane Auditorium of the Babcock Fine Arts Center. Performances are scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 4 through Saturday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m.

A grand pageant of pre-World War I America, "Tintypes" chronicles the country's growing pains through the exuberant words and music of the day. The epic reflection of an era's end features songs that define American popular music including "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," "Hello, Ma Baby," and "You're A Grand Old Flag."

Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $3 for students and may be reserved in advance by calling the Babcock Theatre Box Office at (434) 381-6120. Sweet Briar College faculty, staff, students, and children under 12 are free of charge.
