High school students from central Washington will present “Las Memorias 2016,” an evening of original theatre based on their own life experiences, Aug. 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. in Daggy Hall’s Jones Theatre.
All three performances are free and open to everyone.
Each spring teens from central Washington school districts are invited to participate in Performance as Education, a unique summer leadership program at WSU that combines writing, performance and theatre.
The program focuses on building skills that help students prepare for college, including writing, public speaking, working in teams and setting priorities.
The 2016 cohort are led by WSU theatre faculty Mary Trotter and Benjamin Gonzales.
“Las Memorias 2016” 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 without permits or fees in the Green 2 lot directly across the street from Daggy Hall.
