The City Theater season began with what has become a City College tradition: The 29-and-a -half hour Playwriting Festival in which a group of playwrights are given a theme, a director, some actors, 10 hours and one day of rehearsal to produce an original work of theater.
“It was really upbeat, fast paced, fun and original,” say theater major Katina Meers. “It’s amazing how a theater play can be made, rehearsed, and presented in such little time, only 29-and-a-half hours.”
Lori Ann Delappe-Grondin, theater professor and director of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” which opens Sept. 25, says that this season of plays will be exciting and theater goers will be in for a treat.

DeLappe-Grondin says that people should come to this modern retelling of a classic tale, and that audiences may be surprised at the outcome.”
