Last chance to watch some great one-act plays April 2
There's still a chance to catch some great one-act plays.
Nearly 20 Bluffton University students will either direct or perform in seven one-act plays during a One-Act Festival on campus. The final evening for the festival is Wednesday, April 2.
Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. in College Hall’s Ramseyer Auditorium. General-admission tickets will be $3 at the door.
The participating students are in a Play Direction class taught by Dr. Melissa Friesen, a professor of theatre and communication at Bluffton. Directors of the seven one-acts will be Brianna Lugibihl, a first-year student from Gomer; Alex Parker, a sophomore from Alger; Meghan Hirn, a junior from Lima; Neil Macke, a junior from Ottawa; Lydia Speicher, a senior from Marysville; Cameron Cook, a junior from Washington, Iowa; and Rebecca Juliana, a sophomore from Mechanicsburg, Pa.
