Adrian College Presents New Student-Written
One-Act Plays posted 9/21/07

ADRIAN, Mich. - The Adrian College Chapter of Theta Alpha Phi announces its annual presentation of new student-written, one-act plays Sept. 27-29 in the Downs Hall Theatre at Adrian College.

The plays that will be performed this year include, “Crush,” and “The Polar Bear Club.”

“Crush,” by senior Karen M. Thompson (St. Clair Shores, Mich.), is a play that explores the uncertainty of life and chances for resolution. As club owner Stella is confronted with faces from her recent past, she must decide where the line for forgiving and forgetting really stands. As she tries to figure out what's the truth, what are lies and if it really matters either way, she must examine the ideas of forgiveness, whether it's possible to truly forget, and where the line is between granting forgiveness and being taken advantage of.

In “The Polar Bear Club,” by senior Kelly J. Fox (Temperance, Mich.), we follow Nicky Roberts as she makes everyday decisions as a college senior. Through a series of flashbacks, we get the inside look at the quirky relationship between Nicky and her sister Meghan as history repeats itself.

Downs Hall Theatre is located in Downs Hall on Madison Street. Curtain time is 8 p.m. each evening, general admission is $3, and students with I.D. are free of charge. Call 517-264-3922 for more information.
