EDIT WRONG DATES, ITS THE 14TH AND 15TH

Nina is SOOOOOO EXCITED to see you pull up to the Duke Theater Studies Costume Cleanout this Wednesday and Thursday at BC Plaza!!

Our storage is TOO FULL of treasures from years gone by, and we need to make room for new ones. We're getting rid of pieces that are too fragile, heavy, or just too darn specific to that one crazy design 17 years ago to be used again onstage. Come find some Halloween inspiration, or a new vintage piece to love. All items are FREE OF CHARGE, but we can help you make a donation to the theater department if you want to show your thanks!

WHEN: 10/14 12-5pm
10/15 2-5 pm
WHERE: Bryan Center plaza, Duke University
WHO: The Theater Studies Costume Shop
OTHER STUFF: Bring your own bag if you can!

BRAVO to all our students who wrote, directed, performed, and did tech for Duke Players’ Playhouse Shorts last weekend❗️🎭💐

Playhouse Shorts is Duke Players’ two-night-only new works festival, featuring 15 student-written, student-directed, student-performed short plays this year.

Some creative, diverse plays this year include:
🚽The hardships of personified bathroom objects (“The Clog” by Sarah Pusser)
🎨 A student artist’s reckoning with lost relationships, fraught friendships, and grief in an imaginary limbo space (“The Imaginary Doctor” by Tali Sigal)
🐊The thriller of a pet crocodile on the loose in the first class cabin (“This Flight Attendant Murders Her Pilot!” by Anonymous)
🪦A couple’s grappling with each other’s death and grief through a feminist debate on graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi’s passing (“Marjane Satrapi Died of Sadness” by May Hsu)
🔥The tragedy of putting aluminum foil in the microwave (“Don’t Put Aluminum in the Microwave” by Jackie Park)

Be sure to catch next semesters’s Playhouse Shorts if you’ve been inspired to write, act, direct, or do tech for a low-stakes, all-fun theater experience!

As always, follow @duke.players @duketheater for more💙
