Azusa, Calif. – Coming soon to the Azusa Pacific University Theater: The One Act Play Festival! Opening March 11, The One Act Play Festival is a senior collaboration of writers, directors, designers, technicians, and actors. The plays are chosen and, in some cases, written by the students themselves. This festival gives students the opportunity to present both new and established works to their peers in a collaborative environment. All plays are student directed and student designed in order to showcase the culmination of all they have learned.
Shows run March 11-13 and 18-20 at 7:30 p.m. and March 13 and 20 at 2 p.m.. at the Azusa Pacific University Black Box Theater on West Campus, at 701 E.
