Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present three student-directed one-act plays in the Stambaugh Studio Theatre from March 29 to 31 at 7:30 p.m. and March 31 and April 1 at 2 p.m.
The event kicks off with a shortened version of Charles Mee’s “Hotel Cassiopeia,” directed by Morgan Greene, a sophomore theatre arts/theatre major from Garfield Heights, Ohio. “Hotel Cassiopeia” follows American collage artist Joseph Cornell, whose life and style of art inspire the theme of the play. Using Cornell’s diaries, letters, and taste in music and movies, Mee based the characters in the play on people Cornell knew, observed or dreamed about.
