Photograph 51
by Anna Ziegler
This reading will be directed by Dr. Chris Jones.
“Photograph 51” is the famous X-ray diffraction image that enabled James Watson and Francis Crick to correctly predict the structure of DNA, the key to all life on earth. But the photograph was taken by Rosalind Franklin, whose critical contribution to their realization was not credited until many years after her death. This play is an imagined account of the events leading up to that seminal discovery, focusing on Franklin’s often-tumultuous relationships with her colleagues, her fierce determination to make her own way in life, and how the choices we make affect the people we become and those we can never be.

The Dummest Play Ever
by Brian D. Taylor
This workshop production will be co-directed by students Hannah Kolonoski and Emma Ward
Join ˿����Ƶ Theatre for an evening of dinner theatre. Wow!  This has to be the worst title ever for a play, right?  Unless... maybe not? In a series of silly scenes that will have us laughing at the “dumbness” in everything, the real question in the end is about what matters most.  And while we all can do dumb, goofy things at times (maybe a lot of the time!), we all offer something of value as well.  Despite its name, this play smartly poses pertinent questions like:  Is Artificial Intelligence smart or dumb?  Is a tri-fork an amazing brainstorm or just another silly idea?  And why are really good answers on a quiz show somehow wrong? Players and the audience join in the fun with these ditzy characters. No one will walk away from this show without feeling both a little bit ‘dummer’ and a lot more smarter!

An evening of optimism and second chances
"Sure Thing" by David Ives, and "Monologues of Hope"
The reading of "Sure Thing" will be directed by student Colin Core. In the play, two people meet in a cafe and find their way through a conversational minefield as an offstage bell interrupts their false starts, gaffes, and faux pas on the way to falling in love until they "get it right". It truly is all in the timing.
Monologues will be directed by Christopher Shorr. Students have chosen pieces from plays and films that share a spirit of hope and optimism.
