    ‘Student One-Act Plays’ debut in Campus Theatre

    A series of diverse plays will take stage tomorrow night in an evening made up of both student directors and performers.

    “Student one-Act Plays” presents four one act plays with the help of the faculty advisers, Ronald Scarlata, theatre professor and William Georges, associate theatre professor.

    Opening tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Campus Theatre, the play bill will be comprised of “Small World,” written by Tracey Scott Wilson, directed by Marqueta Floyd, 23, theatre major; “Mike’s Case,” written by Christopher Schoggen, directed by Michael Yarbro, theatre major; “Portrait Of A Madonna,”written by Tennesse Williams, directed by Genah Redding, 22, theatre major; and “The Right To Remain,” written by Melanie Marnich, directed by Briana Burnside, 21, theatre major.

    “We had fun putting the productions together,” Floyd said.

    “Small World” is a comedy about three couples going through the motions of dating but with the expectation of becoming serious with one another.

    “Finding a cast who could share my vision was the hardest part of the production,” Floyd said.

    In the next act, “Mike’s Case” is a story about a 16-year-old male who finds himself in an awkward position in life and is trying to understand what might be wrong.

    “I wanted to choose a story that the students could relate to,” Yabro said.

    “Portrait of a Madonna” is a story about a woman who is plagued by her past and has since lost touch with reality.

    “Everything has come together really well,” Redding said.

    In the final act, “The Right to Remain,” tells a story about a man who has betrayed his wife. Tension consumes the entire family as they work through the problem.

    “Ron Scarlata has worked hard at making this happen for us,” Floyd said.
