HOOVER—Jefferson State Community College theatre students, along with community actors from Shelby and Chilton counties, will come together to perform Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite” at the Shelby-Hoover Campus on April 21 and the Chilton-Clanton Campus on April 23.

“This is the first time in over 15 years the theatre department has produced a play,” Jeff State Speech Instructor Kevin Townes said. “We are extremely excited about reviving student theatre at the college.”

“Plaza Suite” is a comedy set at the Plaza Hotel. All acts take place in the Plaza Hotel suite. Instead of following one set of characters through the play, it follows the hotel suite with different sets of guests.

“It has been a dream of mine to bring student theatre back to the college,” Townes said. “I’m grateful for faculty members, like Ashley Kitchens and Lesley Warren, who love the theatre and are willing to help this endeavor.”

Tickets may be purchased on site at either location the night of each performance. Generally admission tickets are $5 and student tickets are $3. Both productions begin at 7 p.m.
