The Manchester University Theatre Society’s spring production is an ambitious work, written and co-directed by a student.
Why Did You Leave Me? was written by Andy Vance, a first-year student from Portage, Ind., who is majoring in performing arts administration.
“This production is a dramatic thriller that will leave your mind stunned,” she said. “This story is about a young girl, Cecelia, whose life is turned upside down when a ghost begins tormenting her. She begins deciphering her life and finds out about her true self throughout this dangerous ordeal in love, loss, and life.”
It will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13 and 2:30 p.m. April 14 in Cordier Auditorium. It is free and open to the public. (Note for students: VIA credit is for the Saturday show only.)
The Manchester University Theatre Society, the dramatics honorary, includes students who have excelled in acting, writing, directing and other technical aspects of university theater.
This spring’s production is run completely by students written, directed, and produced – cast and crew – by students.
