Student directors and actors are gearing up for a weekend full of comedy and drama. The student one-act plays begin at 7:30 tonight at the Allen Community College Theatre. They continue through Saturday.
Each director cast and directed fellow classmates in plays they personally chose. Each play has a unique element to it.

The Proposal
The Proposal, directed by Debra Francis, is about a man, William Ainsworth, in 1800 England who likes a girl, Julia Hightower, but she doesn’t like him. William, played by Colton Schubert, is kind of a sneaky, creepy guy. Even though Julia, played by Jeri Troyer, doesn’t like William she has a secret and he knows what that secret is. William blackmails Julia. This play is an interesting drama with lots of emotion.

Who’s on Faust?
Who’s on Faust is directed by Matthew Wynn. Rev. Billy Rae Goodson, played by Jordan Fountain, isn’t as good as one might think. He has business with Beelzie, played by Liesl Wilhoft, who happens to work for the devil. When Goodson promises Beelzie that she can have the next soul who walks through the church doors things get interesting. Young, innocent Jonathan Faust, played by Michael De Los Santos, considers trading his soul for baseball cards — maybe he’s not as innocent as he seems. This cast has great comedic timing and plays out their lines with enthusiasm.
