Theatre Students Shine in CWU's Short Works Festival
Reviving a Central Theatre Ensemble tradition from years past, the Student Works Festival offers a venue for emerging student directors, designers, and actors to share their work and passion with the public. Sometimes irreverent, often amusing, and always entertaining, this bill of short plays reflects the interests, concerns and aesthetics of current students and their emerging views of the world. Central Washington University's Short Works Festival showcases a range of content which may not be appropriate for all audiences; parental guidance is recommended.
The Short Works Festival will be held at 7:30 p.m., February 16 and 17, and at 4:00 p.m. on February 18 in the Milo Smith Tower Theatre. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $8 for CWU students with ID. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cwu.edu/theatre/tickets or by calling 509-963-1429.
