This year Student Experimental Theater’s production will feature 11 short plays. 

Auditions for roles began on Jan. 3, and performances will be Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 22-24.

A different student director will manage each short, making a total of 12 to 13 directors.

Tommy Hsee, a junior and one of the directors, explained that this year more original works were included as opposed to previous years.

Each of these works were written by students.

He also said all the directors are veteran members of the theater, a fact that is different from previous years.

“Hopefully, that will bring exciting theater to the audience this year and increase the level of professionalism that U-High Theatre is known for,” Tommy said.

Junior Dania Baig, another director, emphasized that the plays being performed this year will be more rigorous.

The directors and cast members will practice for one to two hours until the day of the production.
