Selected Scenes directed by Ragan Keefer and Becca Korn. A night full of scenes from 2 plays that both have the same central theme, the idea of what beauty means. This project came about because of a class both Ragan and Becca took through a directing course at HPU that ended up making a transition to online learning when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Some of the scenes performed were suppose to be performed at a directing showcase with different casts in the spring of 2020 but we've adapted the pieces to fit social distancing guidelines in October of 2020.
Love, Loss, and What I Wore : A play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman.
Reasons to Be Pretty: A love story about the impossibility of love, REASONS TO BE PRETTY introduces us to Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph. Unfortunately, he also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, all hell breaks loose. A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, REASONS TO BE PRETTY is a gorgeous play.
