Pay-What-You-Can is back for the legendary play,&nbsp;Cyrano de Bergerac!&nbsp;Cyrano secretly loves the radiant and well-read Roxane. Roxane loves the beautiful bodied but dim-witted Christian. Cyrano is a masterful swordsman and a genius with words but his long nose makes him embittered and fearful to profess his love. So instead of fighting, Cyrano offers Christian the use of his poetry in order to win Roxane’s affection with more than just looks, and a powerful and often hilarious love triangle is set in motion.
Available online, by email to BoxOffice@QTGREP.ORG,&nbsp;in-person at the Box Office, Mon-Fri noon-5PM, by phone at 217-987-4450, or that night at the door!&nbsp; 
PWYC is popular!&nbsp;To guarantee a seat please reserve in advance. Single tickets start at $30, and 3-show subscription bundles start at just $75!
