Perseid meteor shower this week will coincide with new moon ... SOU student's play heads to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 7, 2015 at 1:00 PM Posted Apr. 7, 2015 at 1:00 PM » Social News A Southern Oregon University student's play will be produced at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. “Science Night,” written by Theatre Arts student Stephanie Neuerburg, is a John Cauble Award national finalist and will be produced during the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, set for April 14-18. “Science Night” was selected from hundreds of entries. Kennedy Center staff will work with Neuerburg to cast professional actors for the play, which up to this point has been performed solely by student actors. “It’s really exciting to think about professional actors performing my play on stage at the Kennedy Center,” Neuerburg said in an SOU news release. “This truly is an honor.” The play, which is set in a fictional high school, tackles contemporary social issues such as sexual assault and homelessness, Neuerburg said. “Most of the play takes place during a 30-minute conversation between a teacher and student following a high school science fair,” she said. Started in 1969 by Roger L. Stevens, the Kennedy Center’s founding chairman, the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival is an annual national theater program involving more than 20,000 students from colleges and universities nationwide. It has grown into a network of more than 600 academic institutions throughout the country. “This is a really big deal," Professor Jackie Apodaca, head of performance at SOU, said in the release. "The night her play was chosen as a Region 7 finalist, she also performed as a finalist in the Irene Ryan acting competition. She's an amazing actor and playwright." The John Cauble Award winner will be named at the culmination of the American College Theater Festival.
