Players originals to hit 10k

This weekend the Mac Players are providing the chance to experience student-written and -directed theater at its finest. Friday at 10 p.m. and Saturday both at 6 and 10 p.m., the student written one-act festival will take place in 10K. The show reflects true Macalester variety. The lineup includes Slack, a cynical comedy written by Taavo Smith, and directed by Delaney Feigal-Stickles; Kate Morganstern Writes a Play, written and directed by Chris Kelly; the more serious of the lot -- Scene, written by Karin Cox, and directed by Danielle Langone; Growing Up Girl, which combines music and poetry, by Ann Gregg and Kiki Bowman and directed by Lydia Brawner, and more. Come before or after the Dance Concert and celebrate this showcase of student written work.
