Students have worked over the past eight weeks to block, rehearse, and memorize the scenes as well as find props and costume pieces. Come enjoy all the chaos and joy, stress and love that is the Christmas season. Admission is just a free will donation at the door.

This week students finished up their 2D game design. After break, the class will be learning 3D game design with the Unreal Engine. This is the same engine used by much of the industry.
