The Nature and Purpose of the Universe

This darkly comic and deliciously disturbing piece about the objectification of social values speaks to the conflicts and alliances between the institutionalization of morals in western society and how those ideas become weapons in our mind's hands. Pushed to an extremist and absurdist point of view, the characters and actions of the play at once make us laugh and give us pause, making it's point amoung the mass of social opinion by emphasizing how absurd these things should seem in our own lives. This play continues our one-act series of comedys designed to increase the impact that SnS has campus-wide and to afford new challenges to the campus theater community.
Ugly Duckling / Here We Are

Ugly Duckling and Here We Are, two short one acts, were performed on Friday October 24 & 25. Congratulations to the cast and crew on their fine job!.

The Last Dancer

The play examines the internal conflicts of Mutsumi as he struggles to balence the life he has known on this island for the past 20 years an the new western customs that are invading his garden and his life. In addition, he must deal with the Japanese woman that is bringing these new ideas and his feelings about her, as well as the young orphan friend who is being influenced by western ways and customs.
