together a host of UCSD undergraduate actors (49 total), directors and screenwriters with a veritable mix of theatre experience to produce eight original plays.
The first showcase (labeled Showcase A) features four short plays covering a wide range of topics, including a couple living in a country in the midst of war and an unfortunate case of amnesia. Similarly, Showcase B is comprised of another four mini-plays, with topics spanning from the perils of Facebook dating to the struggles involved in publishing one’s first novel. Showcase A opened May 25 and Showcase B followed suit on May 26. Both showcases feature costume and set work done in a minimalist style.
The Underground New Play Festival runs until June 4 and entry is free for UCSD students.
