Morris said he believes the play is about change and how much it hurts when it does happen. He also said that incoming freshmen have much to learn from the basic morals represented in the production.
Morris hopes new students at UW-Eau Claire will be drawn to the play, as it is one of the very first productions on campus this year. The freshmen discounted ticket price should also help.
"Our hope is it will encourage freshmen to see the show," said Morris. Most of all, "The Players" are a growing student organization and Morris said he wanted incoming students to know they can still have a place with them if not in the actual Eau Claire Theatre Department.
"Student Theatre can be really good and it's welcome to everyone on campus," he said.
Overall, the 10 member cast was very dedicated, spending three or four hours every night to get things together before the school year, guest performer Kelly Pfeifer said. Auditions were last spring and the performers had a relatively short time to perfect the act. Pfeifer also said that everyone had a blast and the overall mood of the actors was extremely upbeat.
Pfeifer said that though the play dates back many years it is still "very applicable to a college age lifestyle."
Morris said because everyone was working with their peers it was very easy to work together and connect at an important level.
