Samuel Becket’s “Waiting for Godot” finally comes to the Cameron University stage on Thursday-Sunday, March 4-7, in the University Theatre. This production, originally scheduled for February 18-21, was rescheduled due to the illness of a cast member. The curtain rises at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, March 4 and 5, but the show will start at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 6 and 7. The University Theatre is located west of the intersection of 27th Street and A Avenue.
