The performances will run from Tuesday, Jan. 31 to Saturday, Feb. 4 at TWU鈥檚 SAMC Theatre (22500 University Drive, 91原创).

The festival will feature a collection of five original student plays, including My Friend Celeste by Sophie Holland, In Orbit by Tasha DeVries, Roadkill by Braedon Grover Sunnes, 19 With You by Marissa Welch, and Burger Queen by Alex Walker. The plays will cover a range of themes, from a fast-food restaurant heist to a vision of a post-apocalyptic world.

Sophie Holland, a fourth-year English major from 91原创, debuts her play My Friend Celeste, which tells the story of a young girl growing up and outgrowing her imaginary friend.

鈥淭he five plays are full of twists and turns, laughs and gasps. You won鈥檛 want to miss this evening brimming with new talent,鈥� said Holland.

Tasha DeVries, a TWU graduate with a degree in Theatre and a minor in English, said that her play In Orbit is about 鈥渉uman relationships and the ways that they can be messy and beautiful.鈥� Tasha believes that everyone should come out to see the plays, 鈥渂ecause there is nothing more exciting than seeing the maiden voyage of a new story taking off into the universe!鈥�

Braedon Grover Sunnes, TWU alumnus with a BFA in Acting, describes his play Roadkill as 鈥渁 story about family and the importance of keeping an eye on our loved ones who are vulnerable.鈥� He added, 鈥渢his show is exciting because you get a rollercoaster of emotions, plots, and settings for the price of one ticket!鈥�

Marissa Welch, the writer of 19 With You, which is about conflict between two married individuals who have differing views on the state of their marriage. Student actor Mikkel feels that the most exciting thing about this show is 鈥渢he pure emotion that is felt by both characters.鈥�
