FULLY COMMITTED
Starring alumni Nathan
Keepers. Fully Committed
is a devastatingly funny play about a day in the life of Sam
Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line
at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant. While juggling scheming
socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal
bosses, can Sam manage to make it home for the holidays?

THE CROWD YOU'RE IN WITH
Alumna Montana Johnson serves as sound designer and alumna Sarah Holmberg as stage manager for Walking Shadow Theatre's The Crowd You're In With. When Melinda and Jasper
invite a few friends over for the Fourth of
July, things heat up quickly. As their glowingly expectant friends spar
with their decidedly childless landlords, Melinda and Jasper try to
conceive their own answer. People's Center Theater

OPUS
A celebrated
string quartet has their backs against a wall on the eve of their White
House debut. They’ve had to replace their violist with gifted,
inexperienced Grace, who’s never played Beethoven's difficult Opus
131. Opus
explores the power and pettiness of collaboration... and what a girl's
gotta do to play with the big boys.
Alumni Emily Gunyou
Halaas stars as Grace in Park Square Theater's area
premiere.

INSTITUTIONS
| This section is dedicated to
the South High Theater alumni who have become part of institutions for
theater, film, or the arts. As we all know, there's more to theater
than just the performers up on stage. This is our way of acknowledging
more than just the tip of the iceberg and recognizing the many
accomplishments and achievements of our South High Theater alumni. (In
general, the idea is that if you're contributing creatively to a
specific show -- acting, directing, editing, designing, stage managing,
writing, or the like -- the show will be spotlighted up above. But if
you're on the board or own the company or running the theater's box
office, this is the place for it.)
