Welles's adaptation relies on limited stagecraft; sets and props are deliberately minimal, costumes represent the street or rehearsal clothes of the acting company members. The story is told through the actors' words only, and the audience's imagination is engaged to bring the sweeping tale to life.</p> <p><strong><em>Moby Dick: Rehearsed</em></strong> performs Thursday through Saturday nights at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm through April 15 at the Civic. Located in Clintonville at 3837 Indianola Ave., at the corner of Blenheim Rd., just south of Cooke. Ample parking. Easy access from I-71 via the North Broadway or Cooke exits. Pubtrans: COTA route 4 (Indianola/Parsons) has stops nearly in front of us. Call (614) 447-PLAY (7529) to make reservations, or purchase tickets online at our website. $20/17.50 (+fee online, none of which goes to the Civic). Group rates available. Columbus Civic Theater is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization. </p>
