Nathan Short in student-written comic fantasy

2015 Feb 27

Nathan Short of Paola, Kansas, is a member of the company that will present the world premiere of "The Treehouse Effect," an original comedy.

The play is a contemporary and heartfelt exploration of memory and friendship that reunites three college friends after several years apart. Jeremy is getting married, and has invited his two best friends Lucas and Tyson back to the shape-shifting, time-altering treehouse of their childhood to compete for the honor of being his best man. Their imaginations send them to faraway planets, where they battle zombies and swashbuckling pirates.

Short is the box office manager.

The production is under the direction of Theresa Mitchell. Chris Lohkamp is the set designer and Nancy Pontius is the lighting designer. Costumes are designed by Amanda Dura.

While the action of the play is appropriate for all ages, audiences should keep in mind that it does contain adult language.

"The Treehouse Effect" runs March 4 through 7 in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre. For tickets or more information, contact the box office at 620-341-6378.
