Takes part

WILLIMANTIC — The directing work of advanced theatre students at Eastern Connecticut State University was on display recently for “Short Stuff.” an annual showcase of student-produced short plays. Emily John ’17 of Woodstock Valley directed “The Man Who Couldn’t Dance,” originally written by Jason Katims. John majors in theatre with concentrations in acting and directing and minors in music and English.

Written by established playwrights such as David Ives and Jon Jory, the plays featured in the showcase ran the gamut of genres and themes, with all acting and behind-the-scenes functions performed by students.
