Celebrating Over 50 Years of American Theatre

Tomorrow is the opening of another Theatre Simpson production. Festival 2011 is put on by all Simpson College students. It is student directed, stage managed, and designed. Tonight as a way to wrap up the first ever Simpson Symposium Day, a preview of this weekend's performances will be given.

Tomorrow night a respondent from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival will come and review the performance. Since the theme of the Festival is about student written plays by the Kennedy Center for the performing arts. It will be interesting to see how the respondent will think of it. 

The plays that will be performed are Fall From Grace by Jason Martin—a powerful, highly theatrical dreamscape that considers what goes through one’s mind when he’s hanging suspended by a single rope, having fallen off the third highest peak in Alaska.


The second play is Bunnies by Michael Obrien—an hilarious fictional riff on how Hugh Heffner MAY have gotten the idea to start Playboy magazine. 


Both plays are award winning plays and have been performed at the Kennedy Center. These two shows will be performed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon.
