Cornell College Theatre Department presents "A Lie of the Mind" April 24-26 at 8:00 p.m. and April 27 at 2:00 p.m.

In Sam Shepard's exhilarating play, two families are divided against themselves and armed against each other. However, this mythic western story is not really a tale of rivalry, but of interior domestic violence, the damage that one does to filial, fraternal and marital bonds - and the love that lingers in the air after the havoc has run its natural course.

A Lie of the Mind is directed by Jim VanValen.
