Read about the three one-act plays
Clouds 8 & 10
Anne Walaszek (class of 2012)
It’s opening night and six freshman theatre students are backstage preparing for the quickest quick change of their lives. A memory play, Clouds 8 & 10 reflects and refracts the formation of friendship, identity—and one show-stopping dress—in the moments that transpire when one young woman looks within to see what’s passed and welcome what’s to come.
All to Ourselves
Karl Gfall (class of 2011)
What is “happily ever after” really like? Is it the manifestation of a beautiful ideal—or just an existential hell in which playwrights and audiences alike have trapped famous couples from the greatest love stories ever told? All to Ourselves is a meta-dramatic exploration of the moments that follow just after the curtain drops and the lights come up.
Taking the Stairs
Michael P. Dalberg (class of 2012)
From inside your apartment, you can believe you're completely and entirely alone—and better off for it. That is, until you walk back into the stairwell. Caught within the confines of this somewhat unconventional locale, Taking the Stairs asks us to consider what it means to live together and discover a bit of ourselves in the neighbors that are just beyond our walls.
 Love’s Labour’s LostShakespeare's most endearing comedy May 3-12 | Black Box Theatre *Call the Rita Box Office (262-595-2564) to reserve group tickets as low as $7 per ticket. |
The King of Navarre convinces his three best friends to swear an oath of chastity and contemplation meant to focus their minds on academia and last for three years. This immediately results in all four of them promptly meeting the loves of their lives. The young men’s studies soon give way to secret letters and amorous promises as the women set out to teach the men a thing or two about love. Love laughs at lofty ideals and brings barriers tumbling down in this charming and linguistically nimble comedy.
