DGN students performing "5 Characters in Search of an Exit"
Downers Grove North theatre presents, “One-Act Plays with a TWYST” on Thursday, October 27th and Friday, October 28th at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 29th at 5 p.m. in the Studio Theatre - Room 248. The performance consists of three plays, each adding a little “twist” for the audience. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for non-district 99 students and seniors.
The first play is from The Twilight Zone series called “5 Characters in Search of an Exit.” It poses the same existential questions humans have asked throughout history - Who are we? Why are we here? How did we get here? Is there any life/reality besides but this one?
Next is the premier of a brand new play by Jules Tasca called “Play Development or If Hamlet Had Been a Reading.” Those who saw the production of “Hamlet” last spring may find it quite the perfect comedic commentary.
The final selection is “Mere Mortals,” one of David Ives many short plays that inserts humor and absurdity into everyday life. Ives proposes that perhaps deep down all of us feel like we are someone special.
