I have no doubt it’ll turn out great!"* The one acts in the show are: The Whole Shebang by Richard Orloff A Long Trip by Dan McGeehan The Green Hill by David Ives *A Clear View* is about our shared human experience, the highs and the lows, longing and comfort, wandering and finding your destination. Our desire was to choose plays that encourage you to think about life in new ways, or revisit familiar topics, to help you (and us) learn a bit about ourselves and just what it all means. In *The Whole Shebang*, a student presents her thesis project to the department’s board as she works toward receiving her MU, Master of the Universe. She defends her meticulous design of our universe. In *A Long Trip*, an older man struggles to make one final connection with his wife before he feels that he has lost her to dementia. Together, they relive the night that they first met. In *The Green Hill*, a man passionately travels around the world in his search for the real version of the green hill that he has imagined in his mind for so long. (And yes, I won't send more emails about this show... except one for next weekend :P)
