Gate 23

A group of Pittsburg State University current and former theater students are using their talents onstage to raise money for a local charity.The students, branded as The Starving Artists, will perform “Gate 23,” an original structured improvisational show, at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26. The show will be held in the Grubbs Hall Theater on the campus of PSU. Tickets are $1 each, and proceeds will go to the food pantry at the Wesley House. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. My oldest, one of the show’s creators, when interviewed for the college paper said the idea to put on a play to fight hunger came to her last year when she was researching the problem. “I wanted to do something to help people and I thought about what my friends and I are good at. You have to use what you have in order to make a difference.”She consulted with another communication graduate student , and with a handful of other actors they wrote “Gate 23.” Titled after a gate at an airport, the show consists of multiple scenarios between groups of people. Although the scenarios are the same both evenings, the improv nature of the show means the actors and dialogue in the scenes will be different each evening.

I have to brag a little, shes worked hard on this and I know it will be great.Shes the one in the cap in the picture.
