As the final project for the Theatre 282 class (Production Practicum), students have chosen stories from a number of Chinese, Korean and Japanese folk tales and developed them into play scripts for children's theatre. The production is presented as part of the campus Teaching International program, focused this year on East Asia. The students use no props, no costumes and no set. The actors will mime the props and become the scenery as well as playing the characters and functioning as narrators in the stories. (more)

If ever there were a time to think about quitting smoking, it's now. (more)
