How Far We Have to Go
adapted by: Reese Overstreet
directed by: Reese Overstreet
How Far We Have to Go is a collection of scenes and monologues from 411 BC all the way to the present day. These monologues and scenes make a commentary on women’s representation in plays. For thousands of years, the portrayal of women in plays has been less than accurate and incredibly sexist. How Far We Have to Go shows the progression of women’s depiction in plays and the remaining work that must be done.
The Ashen Crown
written by: Daniel Prillaman
directed by: Christian Carew
At the ashen remains of a war-torn city, two queens meet with a rebel terrorist to negotiate terms of a peace treaty. However, their talks are soon interrupted by the appearance of a disquieting stranger, whose words set the women down a dark and frightening path of madness. Part Horror Fantasy, part war song, The Ashen Crown is a tale of violence, why we cause it, and what it causes for us. Performances November 18, 19, and 21 at Meek Auditorium. (18+)
Puffs
written by: Matt Cox
directed by: Robyn Medeiros
The Trail to Oregon!
music and lyrics by: Jeff Blim
book by: Jeff Blim, Matt Lang, and Nick Lang
directed by: LilaGrace Lara
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. Performances January 28-30 at Fulton Chapel.
The Trail to Oregon!, written by Jeff Blim, Matt Lang, and Nick Lang, is a hilarious musical taking place in 1830’s Oregon. The Trail to Oregon! is about a family that has their sights set on making it to Oregon, the greatest state of all time! The show is heavily influenced by audience participation, which makes it a lot of fun for everyone in the room. Performances April 1-2 at Isom Hall.
