Following the success of the one-act plays presented in the spring of 2003, Untitled At Large, Hamilton's student-run theatre group, presented a second installment of one-act plays on November 2. A supportive and enthusiastic crowd in the Fillius Events Barn enjoyed the four plays, written by Hamilton students.
The first play, titled "Discomfort," was written by Sam Hutchinson '05 and directed by Erin Voyik '05. The cast included Ben Critton '06, Sarah Schol '06, Katey Healy-Wurtzberg '05, and Ryan Serharnt'06.
The second play, "Thin Mints in the Rain," was written by Megan Spooner '07. Directed by Megan Swertlow '04, the play combined comedy, drama, and suspense. It starred Tom Klaber '06 as the delusional Ian, Sarah Fritchey '04 as Ian's girlfriend Tara, and Sarah Greenberg '06 as Eva, Ian's deceased twin sister.
"Mother/Daughter," written and directed by Beth Scagnelli '04, discussed familial issues through the eyes of both a mother and a college-aged daughter. Starring Rebecca Shepard '06 and Kate Worteck '07, the play allowed the audience to understand the trials of being an unloved mother and the difficulty of being an independent college student.
The final play presented at Untitled-At-Large's night of one act plays was "Sunday Night Dinner…9 Months Later," a continuation of Liz Kennedy's "Sunday Night Dinner," which was presented at the previous Untitled at Large's one act production. The dynamic cast had everyone laughing as they portrayed a dysfunctional family at dinner. Stew, the stressed father, was played by Jamie Schibuk, '05. Opposite Schibuk was Sarah Fritchey, '04, who portrayed the overly-loving mother. Kate Worteck '07 made her second appearance of the night as Grace, the goody-two shows sister who had accidentally conceived a child. Stewart, a 250 lb 8 year-old with a love of Richard Simons and apple pie, was played by Pete Harmelin '05. Stewart's imaginary friend, Ted, was played by Mike Salmon '06. Meg Swertlow played Julia, a "Goth" girl who can not stand her preppy sister and her obese brother. The performance concluded a successful evening of student productions.
