As the end of the semester quickly approaches, the theatre department's newest generation of students is preparing to debut their first departmental show at MSU.
The 8th Annual Freshman Showcase, which introduces the new theatre majors, minors, and transfer students to the MSU community, is scheduled to begin on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Studio 60 Theatre located within the MSU Auditorium.
"I think this showcase is very important because a lot of theater departments don’t necessarily do this," theatre freshman Mike Merluzzi said. "It shows the faculty and students what we are capable of in a performance setting."
Directed by Dionne O'Dell, the play entitled Make Me Famous portrays themes of power and fame. Despite having some assistance from O'Dell and other faculty members, the performance is almost entirely student-produced.
General admission seating can be purchased for $10 at the Wharton Center Box Office or at the Studio 60 Theatre Box Office, which opens one hour prior to each performance. The showcase will run through Sunday Nov. 9.
