The Winter Festival of Plays:

Act One: 15 Plays in 30 Minutes are original plays written by MLS Theatre
Company students and staff, and directed by students. 15 plays, from
comedies, farces and dramas all need to be performed within 30 minutes. The
catch is, the audience gets to decide the order of the plays.  As the clock
ticks away, can the actors get them all done in time?

Directed by: Rory Cupach, Alexis Goldthorpe, Cian Liaskos and Aiden Woods.

and

Act Two: This Uh...Body, an original mime drama by Michael Lee,
professional mime visiting as Artist in Residence. The setting is a busy
street filled with busy people all with busy jobs and too busy to notice an
obvious Body that has appeared.  All done with a poetic, stylized physical
acting and original music score, the play reveals much about a society that
has tuned out.

Originally composed in 1992 by Nancy Lyon, Dennis Schaller, Rebecca Surmont
and Michael Lee, who met while studying with the famous French mime Marcel
Marceau.  "T.U.B." has grown to a 40-minute, 15 actor mime drama, and is in
the repertoire of Michael Lee & Opus Mime. The play was selected for Main
Stage at the International Thespian Festival after winning competition at
the Texas State Thespian Fest in 2010.  Michael Lee's career has ranged
from solo performances at schools, festivals and colleges across the U.S.
to teaching and movement coaching for theater productions, trade
conventions, and even World and Olympic figure skaters (gold and silver
medalists, ice dance, 2010 and 2014 Olympics).   More can be found at
www.michaelleemime.com

Michael will be performing some solo mime pieces before intermission as
well.

The MLS Theatre Company is a student-run organization. Every student
involved in the productions is between the ages 14-18 and students take
care of every aspect of the theatre productions. With a director, tech
director, and assistant sponsor supervising, students are given leadership
positions in order to design and build the sets, lights, sound, props,
costumes, makeup, programs, publicity, and programs for the theatre.
Students also run the Box Office and front of house. Each year, three shows
are put on for the public. This year's season includes Diary of Anne Frank,
student directed Winter Festival of Plays and the spring musical,  South
Pacific.
