The Herberger Theatre presents F. Scott Fitzgerald’s  the Great Gatsby March 22 through April 8, 2012.  “F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, often regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century,  In time, Nick gets to know his neighbor, who has accumulated a vast fortune through vague, suspect means, but has carefully forged an outward image of refinement and charm. Years ago, before he left to fight in World War I, Gatsby was a poor man named Gatz and was in love with a beautiful woman from a wealthy family, Daisy . When he returned, Gatz was determined to remake himself so that he might be seen fit to someday win her hand, even though Daisy had by this time married the socially prominent but boorish Tom Buchanan. Gatsby has yet to give up on his romantic dream and enlists Nick, who is distantly related to Daisy, in his plan.”
