FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – June's Month of New Works presented by University Theatre and Theatre Squared will close this week with Original One-Person Shows and Long Form Comedy Improv. Shows begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, and Thursday, June 27, at Walton Arts Center's Nadine Baum Studio.

Drama students will present never-before-seen Original One-Person Shows written, directed and acted by members of the summer's one-person show class. The program was developed under the instruction of Michael Landman, associate professor of drama in the J.

Long Form Comedy Improv will follow the Original One-Person Shows each night. Performers trained by department of drama instructor Kris Stoker will create characters and story lines based on audience suggestions.
