McMINNVILLE – Linfield College students will kick-off the 2009-10 theatrical season with the annual Student Icebreaker.
Performances will be held Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 24-26, at 8 p.m., and Friday, Sept. 25, at 8 p.m. and midnight in the Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall at Linfield. The theatre will open 45 minutes early for participants to enjoy music, games and entertainment.
This play may not be suitable for all audiences and contains mature language and subject matter.
Tickets for the performances range from $3 to $5 and prices will be determined by the roll of a die at the door. Seating is general admission.
Following successful runs in previous years, students will present another selection of 30 Neo-Futurist Plays from “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind,” created by Greg Allen and written by The New-Futurists. The play fuses sport, poetry and living-newspaper into a stimulating experience for the audience.
Senior theatre majors William DeBiccari and Jillian Haig will direct an ensemble of actors and one emcee who will perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. The order in which the plays are performed is determined by audience participation each night.
Cast members include Will Bailey, Aaron Granum, Steven Stewart, Chloe Wandler, Kristina Winch, Amanda Wolf and Nick Zimmers, with Jamika Scott as emcee.
To reach Ford Hall from Highway 99W, turn east on Keck Drive at the McMinnville Market Center in south McMinnville. Turn right on Lever Street and right again on Ford Drive. Ford Hall is located at the west end of the parking lot. There will be no advance ticket sales.
