Spectrum Theater presents

"It's never just fluff," said fourth-year student Megan Ross, the director of this year's production of "The Vagina Monologues," with regard to the content of Spectrum Theater shows. Ross said the group has produced such shows as "The Bad Seed" and "The Importance of Being Earnest" on stage in the past and strives to create socially challenging and provocative drama for its audiences, as opposed to "just fluff," or something simple and straightforward such as sheer comedy. "We want it to be interesting and to make people think," Ross said. The cast of ten actors for "The Vagina Monologues" was chosen at auditions held last weekend. Ross said she helped with "Monologues" during the first semester of her second year and got a part in the group's production of "Arcadia" that spring.
