Help Wanted
A night of student produced theatre
Help wanted is an evening of five short plays written, directed,
acted, and in all other ways produced by the students of Beloit College.
The plays present of variety of styles and moods, sure to provide
something for everybody's theatrical tastes. Even if you are do not
often attend theatre, you should give Help Wanted a try. You never know
what you might find.
The plays are:
Amy Elliot's Play
(Written by Amy Elliot and directed by Leslie Stelwagon)
The play, as you know, is the story of a young man, two years out of college, with no direction in life, who decides
to host a cocktail party to formally announce his intention to decide
his fate, or rather to let his fate be decided for him. A captivating drama about
the nature of free will and how we decide to decide things.
Under the Red White and Blue
(Written by Sarah Bowden and directed by Erik Eddy)
The story of a woman named Christine who has just been fired from her waitressing job and must explain
why to her already worn out electrician boyfriend Clark. Underneath, it's more about how
Christine doesn't really know what she wants to do, and so only follows society's ideas for her. In essence, it's
about not letting society make your choices for you.
Babel
(Written by Brian Gruhn and directed by Selus Bessinger)
What happens when Earth's creators contract the planet out to the lowest bidding deities? Some funny and, hopefully, some
learny. The winner of rave reviews from the writing class it was created
in, don't miss Brian Gruhn's solo writing premiere that is sure to leave you in
stitches! Special Note: If you already have stitches, please do not remove them before the show.
Who is Ruth?
(Written by Matthew J. Hanson and directed by Lily Brislen)
A woman goes in for a job interview, expecting to find the typical
questions about experience and qualifications. Instead she finds
something much more insidious.
The Communication Age
(Written by Matthew J. Hanson and directed by Lily Brislen)
Can an instant messenger romance survive? Can you by love at Amazon.com?
In our efforts to "reach out and touch someone" have we lost
touch? All these issues and more are explored in this witty romantic
satire. And all in just ten minutes.
Help Wanted has a limited engagement of two performances: Sunday
December 7th, and Wednesday December 10th. Both shows are at 7:00 pm in
the Wilson Theatre of the Beloit College campus.
Steve Wright will be there. So should you.
