One-Acts
One-Acts…Many Talents
Featured on two nights in May during our annual Arts Walk event
One-Acts were the culmination of creative work generated by the US directing class. In early January 2022, seven US students began as directors by brainstorming stories and characters. They further developed and collaborated on each script, held auditions, and cast each role from a pool of nearly 50 student actors, many of whom had never acted. The directors then rehearsed and adapted their plays through April (while collaborating with students in the US stagecraft class) in order to design and produce the stage, each set, lighting, props, costuming, and all sound components. The final OneAct performances were the direct result of the crafting and staging of our students’ purely original works that ranged from comedic satire, to metaphorical abstract, to profoundly thoughtful drama. n
