GREENVILLE, Pa.—The Thiel Players opens its production of “Gross Indecency” Friday with shows Saturday and Sunday in the William A. Robinson Theater. The production is free and open to the public.

Over the course of six semesters, students work on a Classical piece, a period-language piece, an early modernist piece, an English language classic, a contemporary play, a musical and a production for young audiences.
