York University’s Annual Emerging Director One-Act will be held this weekend, Nov 13 and 14 in Gurganus Hall at 6:30 pm. This year’s student director is Cheyenne Kiely ’27, who has been working over the past month to bring audiences The Critics. Kiely said, “I’ve never done anything like this. It’s definitely a new experience, but I’m having fun with it!”

Kiely’s production is a 30-minute play about four critics who tear apart a play that they have just seen. There are many references to local or popular shows that Kiely hopes her audience will catch. Her production includes Barbary (Clark Harrold), Bawlawney (Addison Harrold), Quacks (Joseph Hobbs), Quartz (Jubilee Matkins), and an Attendant (Arabella Robison). Kiely credits a large amount of her directing technique to her professor, John I. Baker III, and she is excited to share the hard work of the cast and herself with the audience.

Emerging Director One-Act plays are free and open to all members of the university campus and community.
