When spring started to round the corner, I was looking forward to the warm weather, working in the yard and taking my dog on long walks - all the things one may do during the time of renewal and rebirth. Instead, it seems like with the warm weather just came drama. Working in the yard turned to waiting for lackadaisical landscapers (who apparently have little regard for the hard work I have already put into the yard!) and instead of long walks with my dog, came treatments for canine kidney infections. Princess problems, I know, but they add drama nonetheless.
I can only imagine the students feel the same way. The stress and pressure of papers and finals when the weather just calls one to abandon everything and frolic in a field of wildflowers (let a girl dream!).
On top of all this, University Theatre has been having drama of its own... on stage. The months of March and April have been full of sweat (yet to see blood and tears) to get MACBETH mounted. It was a huge undertaking, but the outcome is worth it! And talk about drama! Nothing can beat political ambition slathered in blood. If you haven't seen it yet, it runs Wednesday - Saturday at 8pm and 3pm on Sunday. Tickets for NC State students are only $5 and if you've played your cards right there might still be free MACBETH t-shirts for students. Visit ncsu.edu/arts or call 919.515.1100 for tickets.

TheatreFest
This summer University Theatre is bringing back TheatreFest, a rolling repertory of three Agatha Christie plays. Let's face it, we're all strapped for cash. This is why I present you with the perfect opportunity to see a free show and stay involved with University Theatre! If you are interested in Volunteer Ushering (you help us out, you get a free seat!), contact ellie_cooke@ncsu.edu or call 919.515.2405 to get more information.
Hope to see you this summer.
