13 Ways To Screw Up A
College Interview
BY IAN MCWETHY
DIRECTED BY ANAIYA DIXON ’19
When two college recruiters at a prestigious university
need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs, thirteen eccen-
tric, dimwitted and slightly-insane high school seniors are
eager to come in for an interview. What seems like a simple
task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to
be a reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur
magician, and others that are much, much worse.
Starring: Nigel Campbell-Christe, Margaux Trexler,
Kevin Akey, Sophie Gomprecht, Sijay Matsinye, Katie Kaiser,
Halle Sigman, Amrita Sawhney, Sierra Fentress, Anika Breza,
Maxwell Stout, Sarah Talbert, and Allison Rice
Jimmy
BY KEITH J. POWELL
DIRECTED BY RILEY CALLANAN ’18
AND ROSE CALTRIDER ’18
Thanksgiving at the Bailey household takes a twist when
Jimmy and his new friend Colin return home from their first
semester of college. Jimmy reluctantly “outs” himself and
reveals that he is, in fact, the Prince of Darkness. The news
does not go over well with the rest of the family, who refuse
to accept their son’s alternative lifestyle.
Starring: Daniel Kim, Hanna Hofmeister, Kevin Koski,
Dayo Ojo, Margaret Akey, and Jack Donahue
Let Us Go Out Into
The Starry Night
BY JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY
DIRECTED BY KARA ZIMMERMAN
A café. Two tables. At one, a tormented young man sits,
surrounded by ghosts and monsters. At the other, a skinny,
earnest woman, addresses her friend (who is a dummy).
Will they find connection in this hopeless, vapid world?
Starring: Cormac Callanan, Riley Callanan, Tyler C. Groton,
Rose Caltrider, and Kevin Koski
Squad Goals
BY DON ZOLIDIS
DIRECTED BY ANNA JANKOWSKI ’19
AND JACK JANKOWSKI ’18
The crackpot coaches of a ragtag basketball team are
looking for one more player, but if inspirational sports
movies have taught us anything, it’s that winners don’t
need to have superior talent—just the most heart. Scoring
on the absurd cliches in every sports movie from Rudy to
Air Bud, Squad Goals is a hilarious slam dunk.
Starring: Jeremy Bers, Matt Palmatary, Darius Pickett,
Andrea Moreno, Allison Rice, AT Ntantang, Jacob Rheingold,
Halle Sigman, Jabriel Johnson, Kate Barranco, Jacob Rose,
Sarah Talbert, and Jack Jankowski
Tender Offer
BY WENDY WASSERSTEIN
DIRECTED BY RUTHIE GRIFFITH
When Paul arrives late to pick his young daughter, Lisa, up
from her dance recital, the lack of communication in their
relationship comes to a head.
Starring: Jack Owen and Sarah Talbert
Choreographed by Haylie La Testa
The Other Room
BY ARIADNE BLAYNE
DIRECTED BY BETH RAUSCH
Austin is a brilliant teenage astronomer who thinks a bit
differently than the rest. Lily is his popular classmate who
happens to have an interest in astronomy. When a chance
encounter after school leads to a growing connection
between them, Austin’s imagination, intelligence, and
constant struggles to connect with the world are revealed
in the form of four characters representing his inner life.
Starring: Jack Jankowski, Kendyl Webb, Hanna Hofmeister,
Kevin Koski, Daniel Kim, Ava Pirie, and Emma Workman
This Is A Test
BY STEPHEN GREGG
DIRECTED BY DAN WAGNER
ASSISTANT DIRECTED BY CAMAIRA WALKER
As the ticking clock reminds you, only 60 minutes remain
to complete this oh-so-important predictor of your future.
But you didn’t get the review sheets, the teacher doesn’t
like you and your classmates are blatantly cheating. Time
passes and you are repeatedly reminded that though you
are having trouble with the test, your personal life is far,
far worse.
Starring: Maya Ransome, Lacey Allee-Press, Emma Workman,
Kalin Elliott, Ayobami Olatidoye, Crinny Woloson,
Ashley White, Aliya Redd, and Obioha “TJ” Onwuanibe
