Three student-written comedic one-act plays will comprise our first Main Stage production kicking off the season. These plays were first developed in the Spring 2023 playwriting course led by instructor of theatre Sandra Delgado. The Student Playwright Festival is an extension of the Theatre Program's focus on developing students' creative voices. You can play a vital role in the development of these new works by attending a performance and sharing your reactions with the student playwrights afterwards.

When a tyrant duke becomes jealous and a wrestling match sparks love, the pastoral Forest of Arden suddently becomes a haven for banished cousins Rosalind and Celia, the noble Orlando, and a motley group of shepherds, jesters, and courtiers. In the face of exile, Rosalind and Celia don male disguises and take matters into their own hands in the pursuit of love. All the world's a stage in this rollicking comedy, and its characters are the cleverest of players. Written over 400 years ago but charming as ever, Shakespeare's As You Like It is jam-packed with mistaken identities, mysterious letters, witty banter, and a forest of lovers.

Dinner is served in the Frasier household…or at least, it is cooking. With the clock ticking towards Mama’s birthday party, Beverly frantically tries to corral her husband Dayton, daughter Keisha, and siblings Tyrone and Jasmine to throw the perfect party. But there are unseen presences in the Frasier home, and no one escapes their gaze. Under the surface of this searing family comedy simmers an inescapable racism that boils up in the most unsuspecting of ways.

Directed by Kelly Howe
