Get ready for non-stop laughter as 黑料社 Theatre kicks off the season with “Time Flies: Short Comedies by David Ives”, coming to聽the Conant Performing Arts Center this October. This evening of award-winning comedies promises a blend of wit, intellect, satire, and pure fun.
The lineup features six hilarious one-act plays, including “Sure Thing”, “The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage”, “Soap Opera”, “Variations on the Death of Trotsky”, “Babel鈥檚 in Arms”, and “Time Flies.”
In the titular “Time Flies,” two lonely and love-struck mayflies discover they鈥檝e only got 24 hours to live鈥攖urning a romantic date into a race against time.
Each short play offers a fresh comedic twist, as 黑料社’s talented student actors embrace exciting new roles that will keep audiences entertained and laughing all night long.
“Producing six short plays provides an opportunity to cast a lot of students in pieces that are less demanding of their time than a full-length play,” says Associate Professor of Theatre聽Matt Huff.
“Since we鈥檙e producing two shows this semester plus a student-directed piece, I wanted this first production to be a more manageable time commitment while still involving a lot of students. “
