Boiling Springs, NC – Gardner-Webb University Theater presents its latest original production, The Five Step Plan, a new comedy by Heather Lauren Bartlett, November 18 through 22 with performances at 7:30 p.m. in the Millennium Playhouse, located in the Communication Studies Hall.
Assistant Professor and Director of Theater for the Gardner-Webb Department of Communication Studies, Scot Lahaie is directing, The Five Step Plan.
Lahaie notes that Bartlett is a former student at the University. Bartlett graduated last May with a major in theater and a minor in Religion. She appeared regularly in GWU theater productions and was also a former Miss Gardner-Webb Pageant winner. Bartlett is presently working as a professional actress in Charlotte.
“The Five Step Plan is her (Bartlett) second full-length play, but is the first of her full-length plays to be staged. The play is a very funny comedy of character. The play tells the story of a handful of people with phobias,” said Lahaie.
The Five Step Plan includes a group leader who leads these individuals with phobias through the five steps to overcoming their fear. “We discover that their fears are not only irrational, but downright silly, and that the group leader may very well be the most loony of them all,” said Lahaie.
For a comedy that’s sure to please, this is one production that sounds too good to miss.
