Adjunct Assistant Professor & Artistic Director of the Department of Theatre's Youth Theatre Penny Caywood led another year of Summer sessions of Youth Theatre at the U.
Caywood was a playwright and wrote lyrics for SLAC's Summer Show: “Close Encounters in the Beehive,” a comedic out-of-this-world romp that follows intergalactic friends and their close (maybe a little too close) observation of the Jorgensen family. Direction was provided by Cynthia Fleming with contributions from fellow playwrights, U Music alumna Olivia Custodio (MM '14) and PTC Prod. Manager David Knoell (Theatre). The line up of characters included Prof. & ATP - Area Head Robert Scott Smith (Theatre), as well as, various U Theatre students and alumni.
