The Women of Lockerbie

The Women of Lockerbie – Fall Play 

By Deborah Brevoort
Directed by Dr. Katie Wampler
Designed by Jake Yenish

Synopsis

A mother journeys from New Jersey to the hills of Lockerbie, Scotland, in search of her son’s lost remains after the Pan Am 103 tragedy. There, she meets the women of Lockerbie—ordinary women on an extraordinary mission: to reclaim the victims’ clothing from the U.S. government, cleanse it, and return it to grieving families.

Loosely inspired by true events, The Women of Lockerbie is a poetic drama structured like a Greek tragedy, exploring how love can rise from the ashes of hate.

Future, Here

Student Direct One Act: Future, Here

By Jeremy Richter
Directed by Faith Harris

Synopsis

Future Here follows five, 18 year olds as they live in a social experiment away from the rest of the world. The play takes place as the young adults talk amongst themselves about the clock that is ticking down, the experiment is ending. The group is giving feeds everyday on their phones about what is going on in the world outside, some bad but mostly good. The feeds are similar to our real world ones more often than not, we often have to dig and research to find the truth. The play talks about society, how social media and the government filter what we see. The show puts emphasis on fear and the obstacles that face young adults as they transition into the world of being an adult and leaving what they know behind while going into the unknown.

Synopsis

Singin’ in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown headline—glamour, romance, and a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s golden age. Silent-film star Don Lockwood is riding high on fame with his on-screen partner Lina Lamont, but when “talking pictures” arrive, Lina’s less-than-charming voice threatens to derail her career. With the help of a talented young actress, Don just might find the perfect solution—along with a chance at real love.

Packed with unforgettable songs, dazzling dance numbers, and of course, that iconic rainstorm, Singin’ in the Rain is a joyous celebration of classic Hollywood that will leave you smiling and humming long after the curtain falls.
