Play Summary
DePauw Theatre is once again proud to present an evening of student written one-act plays. Giving new writers a voice and venue has been a priority for nearly thirty years in DePauw Theatre, and this year we present three short plays by women writers. In Where’s the PA? by senior Megan Mannering, a production assistant on a popular reality show finds herself thrust into a starring role when the lead actress stomps off the set. As a popularity storm roars on social media, our spotlighted heroine finds herself forced to confront her true self rather than her mediated fabrication. A Father’s Joy, by senior Kate Woods, finds an estranged daughter tasked with eulogizing the dead father she blames for her mother’s untimely death. The problem is the dead father wants the last word. And in Online Classes, by senior Caroline Knight, good intentions go south when a young teacher creates a falsified online persona to “friend” a social outcast from her class.
