A second performance will begin at 6 p.m. Feb. 9.\n\nThis weekly student seminar group works under faculty supervision to produce an annual studio theatre production. Students collaborate on every aspect of the production process\, culminating in the public performance. \;Students in the class choose a title\, design\, direct\, and produce a show. "The Why" will be directed by junior Jonathan Quigley.\n\nPlayscripts description: "The central story concerns Robert\, an American teenager guilty of murdering three of his classmates in what has come to be referred to as a school shooting. Spliced among the dramatic exchanges between Robert and his assigned social worker\, a parade of fantastical stereotypes storms in and out\, creating a dichotomy between moments of hilarity and sorrow. Confronted by disturbingly accurate exaggerations of the tabloid-like modern media\, the audience is made to laugh\, and then question that laughter."\n URL;VALUE=URI:/about-us/events/2018/play-why SUMMARY:Play: 'The Why' DTSTART:20190209T000000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
