Good Kids


​Written by Naomi Iizuka

Directed by Carrie Winship - Student
University of Missouri

Something happened to Chloe after that party last Saturday. The problem is, Chloe can't remember anything about that night. Provocative and stunningly current, Good Kids explores the public and unsettling aftermath of a sex crime and its cover-up. Who's telling the truth? Whose version of the story do you believe? And what does that say about you?

Othello

Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Shea Salladee
Iowa Western Community College
​

What sin have I committed? Through Othello, Shakespeare gives us a piece of work that is thematically timeless. The notion of wrath, greed, pride, gluttony, sloth, lust and envy can be found in works throughout theatre’s rich history. In this adapted production, you will see the seven main characters as they grapple with their own human nature and the notion of sin. This condensed version focuses on classical language and heightened movement, creating an enthralling journey of fate and tragedy.
Forgive us our sins.

Exit 27

Written by Aleks Merilo

Directed by Mike Ricci
North Hennepin Community College
​

Based on the true story of ‘The Lost Boys of Utah’, Exit 27 take an unflinching look at the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints), the polygamist sect of the Mormon Church, and their practice of abandoning adolescent boys in the desert for committing minor sins against the church. Indoctrinated to mistrust anyone outside the church and forbidden to return home, these boys are trapped in a world where their survival is not guaranteed.

Amahl and the Night Visitors

Written by Gian Carlo Menotti

Directed by M. Michele Phillips
Musical Director and Conductor - Stephen Shelftz
Creighton University
​

In 1951, NBC commissioned an opera to be written expressly for television. Composer/Librettist Gian Carlo Menotti was chosen to create the work, but he was strangely uninspired.  Then, quite late into the process, he happened upon the painting by Hieronymus Bosch called "The Adoration of the Magi." From that moment he knew his opera must include the Three Kings, an irrepressible young boy and a Christmas miracle. Amahl and the Night Visitors is a poignant and funny hour long opera, which possesses an intricate and beautiful score. It remains a timeless story for every age.

Picture
The Moors

Written by Jen Silverman

Directed by Laura Chaney
Cottey College
​

Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, and dream of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a contemporary dark comedy about love, desperation, power, and visibility.

​

Picture
One River

Written and Directed by Tom Isbell

University of Minnesota Duluth
​

A documentary theatre adaptation of a community journalism effort, One River tells the stories of the St. Louis River: its people, its history, its future. A cautionary tale about the future of our most precious resource - water - it's also a reminder that without place, there are no stories; without stories, there is no place.
