GUARD *******

Written by: Molly Kate Babos

Directed by: Lauren Fogarty

Stage Manager: CJ Miller Geronimo

Seventeen-year-old Julie wants to be captain of the color guard, and Julie ALWAYS gets what she wants. The only problem? McKayla, a well liked but unassuming junior on the team has been chosen for the role. Now it’s up to Annika, the team’s resident screw-up, to make sure the girls don’t murder each other. Is all of this worth a plastic trophy and a chance to go down in northeast color guard history? Yeah. Kind of.

A PIECE OF APPLE PIE

Written by: Ken Schmidt

Directed by: Darren Nye

Whenever they are remembered on Earth, famous souls, (e.g. Beethoven, Julia Child, Adam and Eve) go to a portal to enjoy the occasion of their remembrance, while eating their favorite food. But what of ordinary souls? Long forgotten, Harold Lowenstein, a World War II veteran, comes to life as he is remembered by his great grandson, leafing through old pictures and letters. Harold modestly requests a piece of apple pie, which he explains, “saved his life”.
