Chadron State College presents "Extremities"

2015 Feb 12

The Chadron State College Theatre department will present "Extremities" in Memorial Hall's Black Box Theatre.

The play, by William Mastrosimone, takes the audience into the life of a woman who endures an attempted rape in her home and the drama which unfolds as the would-be rapist is imprisoned in the apartment while the woman and her roommates discuss their options.

With Title IX discussions coming to the forefront on campuses nationwide, director Scott Cavin feels that this play can serve as a catalyst to start conversations on the CSC campus about rape.

The actors in the play are: Jada Fisk of Rapid City, South Dakota, as Marjorie, the woman who is attacked; Doug Valade of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, as Raul, the attacker; Tami Rethman of Verdon, Nebraska, who portrays Marjorie's roommate, Terry, who was the victim of a completed--and unreported--rape when she was a teenager; and Jessica Stephen-Schepers of Spearfish, South Dakota, as Patricia, another roommate.
