Season opener: K-State 1xbet sports betting 's 'columbinus' explores high school tragedy
Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013
MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's 2013-2014 K-State 1xbet sports betting season will open with "columbinus," a hard-hitting play by Stephen Karam and PJ Paparelli. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10-12 and 17-19 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 in the newly named Mark A. Chapman 1xbet sports betting in Nichols Hall.
More than 14 years have passed since the tragic events of the Columbine High School shooting, but the aftershock still resonates today. "Columbinus" explores the dark recesses of American adolescence, including bullying, alienation, hostility and social pressure in high schools.
Jennifer Vellenga, assistant professor of 1xbet sports betting , will direct "columbinus." Set design is by Kathy Voecks, associate professor of 1xbet sports betting ; costume design is by Dana Pinkston, associate professor of 1xbet sports betting and head of costume design; and lighting and projection design is by Greg Purnell, guest artist.
"In such tragedies, we turn inward to protect our own, or we turn outward to rally and debate differing sides of political issues, hoping to change the future," Vellenga said. "1xbet sports betting provides a place for communal consideration, allowing strangers to exist quietly in the same space without the pressure to respond to political and philosophical questions."
