秋葵视频

The theater program at 秋葵视频 will kick off its 2012-2013 season with the second installment of 鈥淲ham, Bam, Play Slam.鈥� The unique 24-hour production event introduces new and returning students to each other and the theater program, and provides a unique opportunity to showcase their talents. 鈥淟ast year鈥檚 Play Slam was really successful at getting new students to meet returning students and the plays that were written were hysterical,鈥� said Lisa Abbott, assistant professor of theatre at Georgia Southern and the coordinator of the unique event. Every aspect of 鈥淲ham, Bam, Play Slam鈥� is left to chance, including the teaming of the playwrights, directors and actors. Students will arrive at the Black Box Theatre at the University鈥檚 Center for Art and Theatre at 7 p.m. on Aug. 24. They introduce themselves to one another 鈥� identifying themselves as playwrights, actors or directors 鈥� and then take part in theater and improvisation exercises. The playwrights then draw the name of a director and various actors from a hat. The groups introduce themselves and the playwrights spend the rest of the evening working on their scripts. 鈥淭he event is great for writers whose creativity is opened by time-pressure,鈥� Abbott said. 鈥淪ome of our writers get really into the exercise and have even ended up sleeping at the theater because they were writing throughout the night.鈥� The following day (Aug. 25), the casts will reconvene at the Center for Art & Theatre and rehearsals for the plays scripted by the writers begin. Later than evening, the audience arrives and the curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. where each play is then performed. The Aug. 24 event is open to all Georgia Southern students and the Aug. 25 production is free and open to the public.
