High school students from central Washington will present an evening of original theatre based on the joys and struggles of their own lives Aug. 16, 17 and 18 on the Washington State University campus. Entitled “Las Memorias,” the performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. each night in Daggy Hall’s Jones Theatre.
All three performances are free and all are welcome.
The “Las Memorias” performances culminate an annual summer leadership program at WSU, called Performance as Education, aimed at helping students prepare for college. Each year’s play features new students with new stories to tell.
Combining writing, performance and theatre, the program focuses on building skills that will help students prepare for college.
“Las Memorias 2017” is presented by the WSU College of Arts and Sciences in collaboration with WSU Performing Arts and made possible by the generous sponsorship of Bob and Karen Felton. The Performance as Education program was established in 2008 by John Fraire, then WSU vice president for student affairs.
Parking for all three performances will be available after 5 p.m. without permits or fees in the Green 3 lot directly across the street from Daggy Hall.
