Drama

Theatre lives in the present tense. It is always here and now. Whether the story is drawn from Ancient Greece or set in some futuristic world of tomorrow, the sense of occasion and participation make it a communal event.

Centralia College's Summer Theatre Workshop wraps up with performances in Corbet Theatre on July 26-27. This year, the students wrote a dramatic comedy set during a 1980s prom with six original songs in the spirit of the era (cue the synthesizers and drum machines)!

"A Night to Remember...I Think"
7pm Friday, July 25,
2pm Saturday, July 26
Corbet Theatre (inside Washington Hall)

Performances are free, but donations support the Summer Theatre Workshops and scholarships.

Guests are encouraged to come to the performances in prom attire! We will have opportunities for you to take photos with your "prom date" in our lobby in the spirit of the show and it will indeed be "a night to remember"!!
