Maxwell Reed, Emma McCuiston and Micheal Emery rehearse a scene from \u201cAll Dogs Go to Hades,\u201d one of the original dramatics works by Tusculum students to be featured during the \u201c5x10\u201d production during the 2017 Old Oak Festival on the Tusculum campus.<\/p><\/div>\n

Theatre-at-Tusculum, in conjunction with the Tusculum English Department, will present the \u201c5×10\u201d plays beginning April 20 with an additional four performances during the annual Old Oak festival at Tusculum College.<\/p>\n

The \u201c5x10s\u201d are a collection of five, ten minute plays written by Tusculum students and produced as part of the Acts, Arts, Academia Performance and Lecture Series. The collection of original dramatic works will premiere on Thursday, April 20, at 7 p.m. and will run as part of the annual Old Oak Festival.<\/p>\n

The annual festival hosted by Tusculum promotes a wide array of art and music from the region, and the \u201c5x10s\u201d offer Tusculum student playwrights the opportunity to see their dramatic works brought to the stage as part of the festival\u2019s offerings. Show times during festival will be 7 p.m. on Friday, April 21; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 23.<\/p>\n

All the performances will take place in the Behan Arena Theatre in the lower level of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts building on the Tusculum campus.<\/p>\n

Two of the plays to be featured, \u201cWalking In The Light\u201d and \u201cDamage Control,\u201d were written by Tusculum senior Macy French. Both are directed by Frank Mengel, technical director of Tusculum Arts Outreach. French was recently awarded the 2017 Curtis and Billie Owens Literary Award for Drama for \u201cWalking In The Light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also to be featured is \u201cHere, Kitty Kitty,\u201d by Tusculum junior Parker Wright. The play will be directed by Wayne Thomas, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Tusculum.<\/p>\n

The work of another Owens Literary Award winner will be staged – \u201cIt\u2019s Only Plastic,\u201d by Tusculum senior Emily Waryck. She was the 2017 Owens Literary Award recipient in the poetry, fiction and nonfiction categories. \u201cIt\u2019s Only Plastic,\u201d will be directed by Brian Ricker, assistant director of Tusculum Arts Outreach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

River Donnelly and Rebekah Voiles are part of the cast of "Here, Kitty Kitty."<\/p><\/div>\n

Freshman River Donnelly is finishing his first year at Tusculum with a highlight as his \u201cAll Dogs Go to Hades\u201d was chosen to be staged at Old Oak. Ricker is also directing this play.<\/p>\n

Audiences are cautioned when considering bringing children to the production due to adult themes and some mild language. The show is recommended for ages 13 and up, with parental guidance advised.<\/p>\n

Bringing the original works to life will be a total cast of 12 including Tusculum students River Donnelly, Johnny Durr, Micheal Emery, Emma McCuiston, Katie Odoms, Carrie Rose, Maxwell Reed and Rebekah Voiles. Tusculum alumna Paige Mengel, local actor Larry Bunton, and North Greene High School freshman Gracie Weems round out the cast for the plays.<\/p>\n

Production assistance has been given by the Arts Outreach team of Costume Director Barbara Holt, Arts Outreach Director and Artist-in-Residence Marilyn duBrisk, and Arts Outreach Coordinator Jennifer Hollowell.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a true collaboration of the arts here at Tusculum,\u201d Ricker said. \u201cThe students\u2019 writings, the visual art components of the production, the acting process, it all is a perfect fit for the Old Oak Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea for the\u201c5×10\u201d production was originally conceived a few years ago by Thomas when he was chair of the Fine Arts Department in an effort to \u201cpromote interdisciplinary co-curricular engagement amongst various fine arts entities.\u201d With the help of Mengel, the first \u201c5×10\u201d production premiered during the 2013 Old Oak Festival.<\/p>\n

General admission is $7, and tickets can be purchased at the box office, which opens one hour prior to show time. Tickets may be reserved by calling 423-798-1620 or by e-mail at jhollowell@tusculum.edu. Tickets may be purchased with cash or check only, no credit or debit cards.<\/p>\n
