Join us for a preview of our IHSA competition Drama and Group Interpretation Performances
Drama: On Stars Not Falling by Scott Shallenbarger
The story of college friends who dropped out of school following a shared, traumatic experience. Five months later, they gather for a birthday party on the rooftop of a Chicago three-flat. An unexpected guest who transforms their lives forever interrupts the celebration. This play empowers those who feel small; offers faith to those who feel lost; and, ultimately, awakens the courage in us all to stand-up, move forward, and claim our own happiness.
Group Interpretation: Every Day by David Levithan
There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.
It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally, A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day.
