ADRIAN, Mich. - The Adrian College
Chapter of Theta Alpha Phi announces
its annual presentation of new student-written, one-act
plays Sept. 28- 30
in the Downs Hall Theatre at Adrian College.
One of the two plays to be performed this year is "A
Jester's Tale" by
Kellie Kelleher. The middle ages and twenty-first century
are cleverly
combined in this loveable farce. The audience is led
through a web of
deceit, treachery, gambling, debauchery and all around
high jinx. While
reminding you of lots of things yet nothing in particular,
this short play
will leave you wishing that every day could be this
much fun.
The other one-act play is "Cake Mix and Chicken"
by Caroline Gauger. A
man takes a journey through his own guilt and built
up anger against his
insane older sister. He decides after many years to
confront his estranged
sibling and finally comes to grips with his feelings
and the horrific
family tragedy is brought to the best possible resolution.
Theta Alpha Phi is a
national dramatics honorary fraternity. Adrian's
chapter has gained regional and national acclaim for
their presentations
of new works by Adrian students. Past plays from Adrian
College have been
selected for the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre
Festival's
Regional Festival, which represents all participating
colleges and
universities in the Midwest.
The one-act plays are a yearly event that many students
on campus look
forward to because the plays are completely student-run.
The selection
process begins in the spring when any theatre student
can submit a script
to be judged by a student committee of Theta Alpha Phi
members. The
following fall auditions are held and a student crew
is assembled to help
backstage. The student directors and writers are in
charge of practices
and the final performances.
Downs Hall Theatre is located in Downs Hall on Madison
Street. Curtain
time is 8 p.m. each day, and general admission is $5.
