Student-written One-Acts in the Studio

Issue date: 11/2/04 Section: Entertainment
Lastly, the evening of One-Acts concluded with "Caring for Violets" by Maria Maloney, directed by Kate Stewart. A compilation of several shorter scenes involving different women and the choices or mistakes they make in life, this metaphoric play speaks to the variety of petals women must peel away to bloom.

Open to the public on both Thursday and Friday nights, it should be noted that the Saturday performance was reserved, by invitation only, at the request of President Adler. This night marked the dedication of the Studio Theatre to her son, the late J.P. Adler. With a newly-renovated entranceway and plaques dedicated to J.P. Adler, as well as to the WCU recipients of the J.P. Adler Scholarships, the night included a special ceremony with speeches and guests to celebrate the memory of J.P. Adler. It could not have been a more appropriate gesture to honor the life of an individual so deeply committed to the exploration of the arts and theatrical expression.

Altogether, "Six in the Studio" provided audiences with the unique opportunity to experience original and creative theater.

With WCU students writing, directing, designing and acting, the one-acts form key opportunities each year for those interested in understanding the entire production process.
