First loves and lingering spirits: two plays to dance to.
2pm: Sincerely, The Ghost Trains by Amber Lee ' 21
由 思嘉金
Pasha and her grandmother have been living as displaced Koreans in Kazakhstan for many years, making art and running a successful restaurant. But a letter from Pasha's long-gone mother brings the violence of the past squarely into the delicate balance of their current lives.
6pm: This play ends at 毕业舞会 night by 桑迪 Nguyễn ‘21
由 玛格丽特星巴克
The rights of passage during senior year at any high school bring major highs and lows - frenemies, 性的觉醒, 聚会, 毕业舞会. But for Vivan and Ray, two young women of color, navigating these challenges with and against a culture of whiteness puts their relationship even more to the test.

Alternate worlds: two plays about losing your heart and your mind.
2pm: 我们的疯狂 by 伊恩·麦克杜格尔，22岁
由 杰西邦内尔
When Manny's personal and political landscapes push at the boundaries of sanity, his perception of them moves out of the real and into the fantastic. His new world view is so intense that even his friends and the weather begin to experience an altered state.
6pm: Dayenu逆 by Ariella Brodie-Weisberg ‘24
由 吉娜年轻
Coming together can be a profound ritual, falling apart even more so. In this poetic performance piece, two young lovers relive the connections and struggles that held them together as they work through the act of saying goodbye.

伊恩·麦克杜格尔，22岁
Ian McDougall is a wild guy and all around swell fella! 他是奥施康定的大三学生, 源自诺曼, 俄克拉何马州, a liberal oasis smack in the middle of the blood red bible belt. An actor, writer, artist, aspiring adult. He's collaborated on plays and film scripts before, but this is his first fully self-generated effort! It draws heavily on his real life experiences with Bipolar Disorder (Type 1, the fun kind!), especially his debut episode. Anyways, hang onto your butts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
