Double bill highlights student directors

A double bill of Grand Valley State University student-directed, one-act plays includes Sure Thing by David Ives, directed by Whitney Hershberger, and The Furies adapted from Aeshylus and directed by Hannah Gaff.

The very funny comedy, Sure Thing , explores the nature of the importance of a "first impression" and how you need more than a second chance to make it a good one. The Furies performances culminate director Hannah Gaff's Student Summer Scholar project. This adaptation of The Eumenides, the third part of Aeshylus' Orestia will transport audiences to the ancient ritualistic world of Greece and the dark, primal world of the Furies, monster-goddesses of the underworld.

This Performance Studio Series is planned for December 7-8, at 7:30 p.m. and December 9, at 2 p.m. in the  Louis Armstrong Theatre, Performing Arts Center, Allendale Campus. Tickets are all $6 non-reserved seating. For more information visit www.gvsu.edu/theatre or call (616) 331-3668.
