SFA to present student-directed ‘All of You’

The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Theatre and Dance will present the student-directed one-act play “All of You” by Dylan Schifrin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, and at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, in Regents Suite A in the Baker Pattillo Student Center on the SFA campus.

Haley Reed, a junior theatre education major from Rockwall, is the play’s director. She explains that in “All of You,” college sophomore and chemistry student Erin thinks she has mastered her Hyperthymesia, a rare neurological condition in which a person can remember every detail of their life. But then unexpected news causes a long-repressed trauma to come flooding back. Unable to stop reliving her past, Erin sets out to manufacture an escape – in the lab. But if she succeeds, could the cure be worse than the disease?

The cast features Sydney Prater, Houston sophomore, as Erin; Bethany Boerger, Flower Mound freshman, as Young Erin; Caleb Reynolds, Waxahachie freshman, as Oliver; Lexi Moore, Cushing sophomore, as Jessica; Xavier Sanchez, Houston freshman, as Kyle; Deontae Whaley, Texarkana sophomore, as Isaac; and Aria Bethea, Rockwall freshman, as Artie.

The crew includes Prosper junior Tyler Grinstead as stage manager; Haslet junior Grace Goodman, costume designer; Schulenburg junior Katy Shank, lighting designer; Longview senior Danielle Wooden, sound designer; and Houston junior Amado Velasco, properties manager.

“All of You” is Reed’s second show to direct at SFA. She directed “Talkback” and has contributed to several other SFA shows behind the scenes in the costume shop, on wardrobe crew and on light crews. She said she thanks her parents for always supporting and encouraging her.
