Waynesburg University Players presenting original one-act plays
The Waynesburg University Players will present An Evening of Original One-Act Plays Wednesday, April 11, at 8 p.m. in the Goodwin Performing Arts Center.
Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.
Three one-act plays will be performed. Each play will be written and directed by a student. This semester, the students presenting plays include sophomore sociology and pre-law major Tre’ Thomas, junior English literature major Rachael Crosbie and senior English creative writing major Shawn White.
According to Edward Powers, professor of theater, the plays’ themes revolve around a mother-daughter relationship, a husband dealing with depression and a family coping with the loss of a son. For Powers, the most exciting aspect of the evening will be seeing students express themselves.
“Students and community are encouraged to attend because these student writer-directors are expressing their own creativity,” said Powers, in a release recently issued by the university. “These are new plays and every playwright wants to hear his or her words come alive.”
