Manchester College’s fall one-acts
cover job situations
and reflections by Trotsky
The 2005 production of the Manchester College New Student One Acts
is really three plays, each with separate student director, for a
three-night run Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 17-19. The curtain rises
at 8 p.m. each night in Wampler Auditorium. Admission is $1 or a canned
good for the local food pantry. The plays are produced each fall by the
college’s chapter of the national theatre organization Alpha Psi Omega.
Going Down is co-directed by seniors Rachel McFadden of
North Manchester and Steven Grubb of Elkhart. The actors are first-year
students Cameron Johnson of Fort Wayne and
Kacie Gauby. In the play, a newly appointed female CEO and a
chauvinist male employee who is unaware the woman is a top officer in
the company, talk while waiting for the elevator.
The second one-act, Death of Trotsky,
is co-directed by siblings from Otterbein, junior Will Patch and
sophomore Amanda Patch. The actors are first-year students Tedra Tague
of New Market and Jeff Combs of Wabash. In this series of short skits,
Trotsky reads about his own death in an encyclopedia.
The third one-act is The DMV,
directed by senior Brad Vah of Chesterton. The actors are first-year
students Allyson Gonzales of Hammond and Jason Adams of Bluffton. The
DMV is about an applicant participating in a job interview that is
rather “out of the ordinary.” This one-act will not be performed
Saturday night.
