Community gets taste for student directed plays
Auditions for One Act Plays will be held today and Thursday at 7 p.m. in Withycombe Hall. Auditions are open to the public, and students are encouraged to audition.
Each play is student-written and directed. There are 11 available men's roles and 10 available women's roles in six total plays.
"The plays run the gamut from the wackily absurd to a feminist examination of women and religion, a screwball comedy, a play of student life and one of gritty realism," said Charlotte Headrick, the theatre faculty adviser for these productions, in a press release.

Book Award winner to speak on campus
Gina Ochsner will be at OSU today to read from her most recent short story collection.
The collection is titled, "People I Wanted to Be." She will share her insights, experiences and vision in a meeting hosted in the first-floor rotunda of the Valley Library. The presentation will begin at 5 p.m.
"Ochsner assembles a host of oddballs whose touchingly resilient hopes and small leaps of faith fly in the face of almost certain disappointment. Ochsner knows that vindication and inspiration often come from unlikely places, and she can capture this contradiction gorgeously in a gesture," described Publishers Weekly of the collection of Ochsner's work.
The event is sponsored by the Craft of Writing Series, the Valley Library and the Center for Writing and Learning. It is free and open to the public.
