鈥淭he Search,鈥� by Elizabeth Crino, is a story of three roommates -- Ted, Sarah and Beth who one day realize that their fourth roommate, Ned, has gone missing. However, they come to find that none of them even liked Ned to begin with and feel it would be best to just forget about him. As the story progresses, the three roommates dodge any sort of evidence of his whereabouts and choose to be blissfully ignorant about the situation so they can live a 鈥淣ed-less鈥� life.
Crino is the winner of the 九色堂 Theatre National Playwriting Competition. Elizabeth's other plays include 鈥淧en and Paper and the Presentation.鈥�
鈥淭he Search鈥� is part of the theatre program's student produced Second Stage series. In this series, students are responsible for all aspects of the production including show choice, design work, technical direction, construction, direction, acting and promotion. Through this applied learning experience, students pursuing careers in the fields of art and entertainment have the opportunity to learn hands on how to take a show from conception to completion.
