What
Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s (WPI) M.W. Repertory Theatre Co. will present Bower Bird aka Crazies in Love, written by 2007 WPI graduate Shannon “Haz” Harrower. Bower Bird follows the story of a comically backward-yet-straightforward romance, and the ride the couple’s poor, ever-exasperated therapists didn’t know they were signing up for. This wonderfully wacky love story of a woman who falls for a man with OCD makes for fun-filled entertainment.
Who
Approximately 30 WPI students are involved in this production by M.W. Repertory Co., which has presented plays at WPI since 1989. The play will be directed by students Joel Sutherland ’11 and produced by Cara Marcy ’09. M.W. Repertory Theatre Co. is one of several theatre groups at the university. Masque, VOX, Sunburns Theatre (summer theatre), and Student Comedy Productions (improvisational comedy troupes) bring the WPI community about eight productions a year. In addition, New Voices, begun in 1982, is the nation’s longest running annual festival of new plays written, directed, and performed by members of the WPI community.
