Date Auction and Creating the Underworld

Thursday night was the Date Auction Underground. Simpson Students played host to perspective students. The perspectives toured the campus, attended acting classes, auditioned, and attended a rehearsal of Simpson's spring production of "Eurydice." Once they were finished with that, they headed to the Underground.

The girls of the Performing Arts Theme House host a Date Auction to raise money for the AIDS project of Central Iowa while releasing their "wild" side. :)

About $100 was raised for this charity. Songs were sung, skits were performed, and thanks to the Holy Grounds Coffee Shop, the first 15 people at the Underground got a free cup of coffee.

Saturday was filled with another full day of theatre. From 9am-5pm, Theatre Simpson students built a new world for audiences to enjoy. The lighting crew hung all of the lights needed for the show without the designer being available for consulting. This show is sure to be a spectacle, especially with the help of guest lighting designer, Jason Amato, from Austin, Texas. Based on the Greek myth of Orpheus, this play will take you on an emotional journey. Though it is based upon a Greek myth, the playwright Sarah Ruhl specifically states in the script that it should not be read as one. Come see Eurydice!
