PAY AT THE DOOR
DSA Black Box Theatre
The fun starts even before you go into the theatre. Instead of charging a set fee per ticket, you are invited to roll the dice. Then you pay whatever you roll plus $5. Bring some cash!
The most fun show in the whole line-up of theatre events, TML is the chance for the Junior Theatre majors to show their imagination, their creativity, and just exactly what is on their collective minds. They are instructed to write two-minute plays about the things that they have experienced, the things that concern them, what they love and what they hate. Each of the 30 plays are numbered and are performed in the order shouted out by the audience. No two shows are ever the same.
If you were ever curious about what goes on in the mind of a teenager, here’s your chance to experience the chaos.
