[SDS] Pre O Show, DeBaun One Act Festival Auditions, and GBMs oh my!

[Trevor Batchelder]

Hello everyone!

I hope that you all had a great summer! Although classes don't begin until
Monday, the performing arts are already getting started on campus. Here is
what is going on:

--

First off is the *Performing Arts Pre Orientation Show:*
The pre orientation group has been working hard all week and are putting on
their show *Friday @ 8:00 PM *in DeBaun Auditorium. The show is looking
fantastic, and it would be great to have some SDS faces present to greet
the Freshman to Stevens, not to mention the show is shaping up to be a
blast. No tickets are necessary and the show is free.

Second, is the following announcement about auditions for the DeBaun One
Act Festival from Dave Zimmerman:

DeBaun Center for Performing Arts and Stevens Dramatic Society are casting
for the Spectacular Extravaganza One Act Festival. This Festival includes
two plays, *The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon *and *The Greek Mythology
Olympiaganza*, both written by Don Zolidis. In addition, Off Center will be
participating in the One Act Festival with an original work, but casting
from within their organization.****

*SHOW DESCRIPTIONS*

*The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon*, produced by Stevens Dramatic Society***
*

Directed by Colin Gleich: 5–8 actors****

Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the
Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza. To make it more
difficult, they attempt to combine them into one gigantic fable using
“Rapunzel,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Snow White,” “Sleeping
Beauty,” “Cinderella” and other more obscure stories like “Lean Lisa” and
“The Devil’s Grandmother.” Each actor plays multiple roles.****

** **

*The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza*, produced by DeBaun Center for
Performing Arts****

Directed by Caroline Amaba: 6–8 actors****

Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology
using audience participation, cross-dressing, and general theatrical
insanity. Creation myths such as “Pandora’s Box” and “Cronos and the
Titans” jostle for space with other famous myths like Jason and the
Argonauts (the original Super Friends). Culminating in a heart-‐pounding,
five-minute, two-actor version of *The Iliad*, this fast-paced,
free-wheeling play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for all ages. Each
actor plays multiple roles****

Last but not least, is our start of the semester GBM on *September 4th @

executive board.
