Two free performances highlight some of Dana's best, Jan 30 & 31

The Dana College Theatre will offer two special evenings of one-man performances Jan. 30 and 31 in Dana’s Lauritzen Theatre, Madsen Fine Arts Center. The performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and are free and open to the public.

In the evenings’ first performance, senior Emily Neve of Des Moines stars in Willy Russel's Shirley Valentine. This funny, powerful and touching play focuses on a frustrated middle-aged British housewife who grabs at an opportunity to travel to Greece and change her life.

In the second performance, senior Jeremy Stoll of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will perform Wake Up and Smell the Coffee by Eric Bogosian. This manic, hilarious and sometimes offensive monologue is sure to challenge audience members to take a second (and third, and fourth) look at the way in which they are leading their lives.

Neve and Stoll are both regular feature players in Dana College Theatre productions.
