An array of theatrical performances will be presented this week in the Directors' One-Act Showcase. The plays begin at 8 p.m. tonight, and also will be performed Friday and Saturday in Baldwin Hall Little Theatre.
Admission is free for all students.
The showcase is the highlight of a semester's worth of work for students taking the Play Direction course. The students were responsible for choosing their material, conducting research, running auditions and scheduling rehearsals. Dana Smith, assistant professor of theater, teaches the course. She said the one-acts provide directing students with a good opportunity to appreciate and understand what steps are involved in running a show. She said she is not surprised students have found directing to be more work than they first imagined.
