McDaniel senior directs "Wanda's Visit"

Shakara Sapp, a senior Theatre Arts major from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, directs "Wanda's Visit." Performances are Thursday, April 20, Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Dorothy Elderdice Studio Theatre, WMC Alumni Hall. Note: the show, which is approximately 35 minutes in length, is intended for mature audiences.

Christopher Durang’s comedic 30 min. one-act play revolves around Jim and Marsha, who have been married for 13 years and are feeling a little bored and unhappy.  

According to Sapp, "I chose this show because even while reading it I was laughing out loud, and I think we really need to laugh right now as a community."

"Even though this is my first time directing a full production, I think my classes have prepared me for this moment, and I am so thankful to my professors that have helped me along the way and continue to help me."

• Paul Steinert, a sophomore Elementary Education major from Dundalk, Maryland, as Jim
• Bella Myers, a junior Theatre Arts major from Mt. Airy, Maryland, as Marsha
