One Day an Angel Fell from the Sky
Andrew Fletcher WTE
Mentor: Penelope Weiner, Theatre
This is a short play set during the biblical Apocalypse. Graham Bennet, a perfectly average character, has his average Apocalyptic life disturbed when he discovers an angel has fallen on his car. He is then forced to take care of the angel until she is healthy enough to continue fighting in the great war between Heaven and Hell. As Graham aids Ambriel back to health, he discovers a connection between the two. After this knowledge is uncovered, a close friend dies, and a drunken meeting with the devil takes place. Graham must decide which side to choose. It is a story primarily of discontentment, the desire for escape, and the inefficacy of love.

Sisters of Survival Chapbook Project
Julie A. Velez WTE
Mentor: Sharon Sullivan, Theatre
During the last school year, I have been helping to facilitate a creative writing group at the women's prison. I have gained a sense of who these women are and have started a project to publish their work whose goal is twofold: to empower the writers and to share their work with the world at large. The project has been 225% backed on Kickstarter, and the book should be published before graduation day. I'd like to present a poster on my experience working with these women and on their poetry.
