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. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, and each night will feature different students and scripts.

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.

Tickets to each performance are $5 for adults and $3 for University of Arkansas students. The Nadine Baum Studios are located at 505 W. Spring Street in downtown Fayetteville. Tickets may be purchased at the door, through the Walton Arts Center's website or by calling 479-443-5600. There is an additional processing fee for online purchases. For more information on the Month of New Works, please email drama@uark.edu.
