            Shawnee State University students have a new club called Actors Anonymous that is being offered to students who are involved in theatre activities at the university.
            “Students must already be involved in theatre activities to be eligible to become a member,” John Huston, associate professor of Theatre in the Fine, Digital and Performing Arts Department. “They will accumulate points for every activity in which they participate before eligibility can be extended.”
            The points that will be accumulated by the students are based on production activities. The club will be affiliated with a national fraternity called Alpha Psi Omega.
            Students who are not involved in theatre, but would like to be, are encouraged to audition for shows that are put on each semester by the SSU Theatre Department.
            Audition flyers can be found around campus within the first 2-3 weeks of classes each semester. This semester the spring production is called “Noises Off.” New York critics described the play as “the funniest farce ever written.”
            The production will take place at 7:30 p.m. on April 1, 2, and 3 at the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts on the Main Stage.
            General admission for the play is $8, while seniors, students and faculty pay $6. To purchase tickets contact the McKinley Box Office at (740) 351-3600.
