Theater students and professors are gearing up for several upcoming plays at City College. The following plays and festival are scheduled for the fall semester.
29 ½-Hour Playwriting Festival
Sunday, Sept. 14, 2014 at 8 p.m
Art Court Theatre, Performing Arts Center
29 ½-Hour Playwriting Festival is a play that occurs once a year in September and is a City Theatre tradition.
“We’re going to have different writers, different directors and different actors,” said theater technician Scott Bailey. “So it’s called 29 ½-Hour Playwriting Festival because that’s the entirety of the time, from the moment when the topic is handed out, till it’s actually go-time on stage.”
29 ½-Hour Playwriting Festival is centered around a random topic or phrase that is given out by theater arts and film professor Luther Hanson, to a crew of volunteer writers who attempt to create overnight a 10-minute play around that lead.
Bailey said that the writers will then give their script “to the directors who take it home, read it, sleep on it, think about it, bring it back the next day and direct it.”
The results are often very interesting, with very wild plots. All tickets are priced at $10.

“`The Uninvited’, a remake of a movie from the 40s, is your classic ghost story,” said Bailey.
This ghost story follows a brother and sister who who recently move into a charming, peaceful-looking house in West England that overlooks the Irish Sea. The house, named Cliff End, is purchased at an amazingly low price. Yet the house is not as beautiful and harmonious as they originally thought, and soon they’ll find out why Cliff End has been empty for such a long period of time.
“I want to see the `Uninvited’ because I’ve never actually heard of it before, and I would like to see something new,” said Matthew Matson, theater major and assistant set technician for the play.
