A small theater in a tiny portion of the upper level in the Stevens Building housed the theater department’s final show Thursday night.

Storytellers Theatre performed in the Corner Theatre in the Stevens Building at 7:30 p.m., and will run through Sunday; tickets are $5 and only available at the door.

Students from the department went on stage and told stories. Some of the stories were personal anecdotes that ranged from an experience on a family trip to two twin sisters and how they grew up together.

There were also stories about how a boy saved a man from drowning and also about how a man saw a friend’s grandfather die.

Each of the students prepared for about two weeks before performing the play. Each student picked out a story that was meaningful to him or her that would also be entertaining for the

audience.

“I wanted to do a personal story, and since I had a crazy childhood, I chose this one,” said Mitchell Becher, a freshman theater major. Becher’s story was about how he got locked in a freezer when he was about 3 years old.

“I wanted to tell a story that was comedic and would be appealing to the audience,” he said.

Another story was told about two sisters.

“I never had a big moment growing up, so I decided to do a story about my sister and me because she and I always had fun,” said Jackie Perez, a freshman theater major. Perez’s story was about how she tried to help her twin sister with boy troubles.

Every student had a unique reason for telling his or her story. Suzanne Mauhar, a freshman theater major, told a story about how her experiences as a young adult on her own led her to Christianity.

“I chose my story because I wanted to pick a story that was important to me and that is the story about how I found my faith,” Mauhar said.

The students also told fables and fairy tales. They finished the show with a three-woman rendition of Rumplestiltskin.
