Facebook - SAU Department of Theatre

This past weekend SAU's Theatre Department produced an amazing play named "Our Town." "Our Town" is a 1938 metatheatrical three-act play written by American playwright Thornton Wilder. The play tells the story of a fictional American small town of Grover's Corner between 1901-1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens.

Metatheatrical describes aspects of a play that draws attention to its nature as drama or theatre. That simply means the audience will be directly addressed during the play. There were a lot of people involved in the show. The production staff was director Cason Murphy, production manager and design Richard Vollmer, sound designer Hali Pinson, production stage manager Joann Shaver, assistant stage manager Jared Smith and assistant stage manager James rich.

Stage manager- Darby Taylor ,Emily Webb- Cassandra Lovell, George Gibbs-Sterling Davis, Dr. Gibbs-Daniel Spiropoulous, Mrs. Gibbs- Alycya Thomas, Mr. Webb-Taijee Bunch, Mrs. Webb-Mikayla McCoy, Rebecca Gibbs- Eboni Edwards, Wally Webb-Jared Hunte, Simon Stimpson-Bodee Starr, Mrs. Soames- Ashlyn Wells, Howie Newsome- Wellie Johnson, Joe Crowell- Tyler Spears, Professor Willard- Caleb Burkhalter, Si Crowell- Parker Hamm, Constable Warren-Joey Karr, Sam Craig- Stephanie Blase, Joe Stoddard-Kyle Kidd, Townspeople- Shelby Arnette and Mercy Fuentes. Last but not least the crew. Light board-James Rich, Head Electrician-Sterling Davis, Production Assistant- Josh Rogers, House Manager- Catherine Marlett, Head of Wardrobe-Jacinda Passmore, Wardrobe-Lainey Walthall, Backstage Crew- Kaylen Famam, Gabriella Dickey, Josh Rogers, and Katharae Patterson. Carpenters and Electricians: Sterling Davis, Daniel Spiropoulos, Mercy Fuentes, Jordan Pennington, and Darby Taylor.

This show was amazing. It made you laugh, cry, and think. The actors did a terrific job on bringing this show to life. What I got from the show was the question: "Are you living or are you existing?" Which means: are you truly living your life or watching it as it goes by? If you didn't see this play, you really missed a truly amazing play. If you get the chance to see it again, GO. Great job!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
