Student Directed Festival
The Outsiders - Miles Rakov & Maya Smith This show is an adaptation of the 1967 novel The Outsiders by S E Hinton set in a futuristic sci-fi universe. There will be interplanetary adventure. There will be a classic coming-of-age story. There will be humor. There will be social commentary. There will be holograms partying on a beach. Come audition for The Outsiders, but sci-fi. This Improv Is Scripted - Maya Shavit & Maya Pontes This Improv Is Scripted is a comedy about a high school imrpov group that deals with some shenanigans in their pursuit of bettering their improv skills. The One Where No One Is Ready - Gareth Jones & Penny Waldron A stressed Ross desperately tries to get the rest of the gang ready for a black-tie event at the museum while Joey and Chandler clash over personal belongings and personal space. Monica gets caught up on a message from her ex, Phoebe's dress has been destroyed by hummus and Rachel simply isn't ready. Will they make it on time? It's anyone's guess. Meddling Kids - Valentia Burlak & Allen Burlak The Meddling Kids (Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby) investigate Gordon’s restaurant, a restaurant on the receiving end of more monster attacks than ever. Due to these attacks, chefs have been calling it quits, leaving restaurant Head Chef Gordon with four times the work load. With multiple suspects and dozens of ways this mystery could go, it’s up to the meddling kids to find the true culprit, before it’s too late. To Can - Sean O'Halloran & Albert Jiang
Mommie Queerest - John Watson & Bella Wong This comedy puts a queer twist on the classic soap opera genre. It follows Angeria Davenport as she prepares to marry her fiance, despite his disapproving mother’s attempts to stop the wedding. The Borrowed Sibling - Josh Chan & Reid Carroll The Borrowed Sibling is about two half-siblings, Callum and Vanitas. Due to a certain series of events, these children are unable to fully develop and grow, and are given no adult direction in life. This show will explore the psychology of these half-siblings in a more serious and darker tone than your typical Drama Society show, so if you like complex shows packed full of subtext, then we’d love to see you at auditions. Protector of the Small - Louisa Hansel & Jesse Waters-Malone 10 years after it was proclaimed that women could become knights, Keladry of Mindelan becomes the first to attempt it. Given a one year probation to prove herself as good as a boy, Kel must fend for herself in a world built to honor men and forget the women who surround them. Where will it be?

Welcome to Oz! This hilarious play puts a twist on the classic story, following a young girl on a journey of grief and perseverance on the road to acceptance. It is definitely not the same Wizard of Oz you think you know, however you may recognize some similar characters and themes. This show is family friendly and appropriate for all ages!

You know that story of that boy? The One Who Lived? The one who goes to that school, and he has a scar that's shaped like a... oh, you know, you know who I'm talking about. Well, this story isn't about him. This is a story about a group of young people who go to that school and how they suffer the indignities, disappointments, and savagery that are endemic to institutions of education — even, apparently, magical ones. It isn't fair, but simply because of when these young people go to school, they are impacted by things that should never impact young people, yet so often do: violence, fanaticism, terror, and loss. This story will make you laugh. We want you to laugh. You deserve to laugh. We need to laugh. But full disclosure: you're not watching a comedy.
