In Will Eno's "The Flu Season," a man and a woman fall in and out of love with one another, a play gets written and rewritten, and the meaning of life is examined. "The Flu Season" is a woozy love story about the pain and joy of life, love and play-making. North Central College students will perform "The Flu Season," a contemporary play about the pain and joy of life. Four performances of "The Flu Season" will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11-13 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 14 in Madden Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Tickets are $10/adults and $8/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
