Short-Play Student Showcase
Eastern Presents 'Short Stuff 2017'
Willimantic, CT (04/04/2017) — The Theatre Program at Eastern Connecticut State University will present "Short Stuff 2017" on April 8 at 7:30 p.m. and April 9 at 3 p.m. in the Delmonte Studio Theatre of the Fine Arts Instructional Center. "Short Stuff" is a compilation of 10-minute plays that are directed by advanced theatre students, with students also handling sound, lighting, costume and stage management.
"Short Stuff 2017" will feature three high school actors from Windham High School (WHS) - N'Deeah Romney, India Nicholson and Aramis Morales - as WHS teachers Nicole Bairos and Mike Lessard have been collaborating with Eastern's Theatre Program to offer opportunities between the high school and the university.
Written by established playwrights such as David Ives, Christopher Durang and Jon Jory, "Short Stuff 2017" runs a gamut of styles, genres and themes - from absurdist comedies to realistic dramas. The annual showcase has been presented by the Theatre Program for more than 20 years. The short play format provides students the opportunity to further hone their talents while delighting audiences.
The public is invited; donations will be gratefully accepted in support of the Theatre Program's upcoming New York City Showcase - an end-of-the-academic-year trip where students present shows in an Off-Broadway venue and take workshops.
For "Short Stuff" ticket reservations, call the Box Office at (860) 465-5123, email theatreboxoffice@easternct.edu or visit www.easternct.showare.com/shortstuff2017.
