Fresh Produce is a student run organization that enables students to get involved in all aspects of theatre, regardless of prior experience. Students are given the chance to craft their artistic vision by working independently with the guidance of faculty advisors and an executive committee. These projects may vary from traditional staging to exploring experimental, unique, and new ways of working.
FRESH PRODUCE PRODUCTIONS FOR FALL 2009 Announced
Fresh Produce is a newly conceived student production series that enables students to get involved in all aspects of theatre. Projects proposed might be traditional plays, scenes or readings, but students are open to explore non-traditional or experimental projects. It’s a great opportunity for students to explore their craft and try out new ideas, as well as a great way to engage their audience to look at theatre from a fresh view.

Theatre Courtyard (outside Applause Cafe)
Parados is an experiment in the Ancient Greek Chorus, the foundation of Western Theatre. The ensemble of actors will be exploring the opening choral ode of Aeschylus' Agamemnon through voice and movement using both the original Ancient Greek text and a modern English translation. The experiment will culminate in an outdoor performance that will bring to life this 2500 year-old tradition.
IRON
by Greg Twomey and Joey Ibanez
Rob Mueller, director
What connects humans despite differences? Fears? Desires? Humor? Pain? IRON seeks to discover that connection through the main characters, John and Judas. Experience the journey of two strangers in a prison cell as they explore identity, personality and what it truly means to be "lock'd up." Throughout the play, they come to realize what bridges their two drastically different lives – the human experience.
