This weekend kicks off the theatre season over at UW-Eau Claire with Cannibal Days. This drama, performed by the UWEC Players, features an ensemble cast and follows two weeks in the lives of six people in their mid-twenties who have all come to a nameless city to work in the entertainment industry. Multiple stories intertwine and the world around each character unravels, as each waits for a break, a chance, or a way out. More details.
