140 Characters in Search of an Author
Saturday, April 4th, 2015
140 Characters is a combined effort of student playwrights and actors to put together a night of improv and short plays. The process starts off with writers creating plays based off prompts given in 140 Characters on Twitter.
Then, 9 actors take 30 plays and perform them in a random order in under 60 minutes. The order is up to the audience. Whatever way the night turns out, hilarity ensues.
Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play
Saturday, April 4th, 2015
What will endure when the cataclysm arrives—when the grid fails, society crumbles, and we’re faced with the task of rebuilding? Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future. A paean to live theater, and to the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.
Morningstar
Morningstar reimagines the devil as a troubled visionary who never wanted to corrupt humanity. He only hoped to provide an opportunity for humanity to overcome their faults. Lucifer (or Luce, as he prefers to be known) appears before the audience to retell stories we all know, but from his perspective. As he relives his earliest days in the garden of Eden and beyond, he asks to consider a simple question: without sin, what would humanity be?
