Friday, Aug. 6

Are you ready for a great night out? Looking for a good laugh? For the first two weekends in August, the Performing Artists Collective Alliance (PACA) will proudly present 14 More Ways To Screw Up Your College Interview by Ian McWethy for your comedic pleasure.

"The author had written two scripts, and he said, use whatever ones you want," explained actor and director Jeff Rodland. "I used the basic beginning and ending scenes from the first one. This time, I'm using the basic scenes that make that a different story."

When two college recruiters are tasked to find one more student to fill the spot in next year's class, they find themselves revisiting the Wait List only to encounter an array of eccentric characters who promptly demonstrate what not to do during your college interview. This sequel to 13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview is a fun comedic play that surrounds the absurdity of the dreaded college application. — Katelyn Kruszewski

Fridays and Saturdays, Aug. 6 - 14 at 8 p.m. // PACA, 1505 State St., second floor // $10 // for tickets and more information, go to www.paca1505.org
