MadLab Theatre Kicks Off 3 IN 30: WHITE ELEPHANT Tonight

By:

3 in 30: White Elephant will run at MadLab Theatre, 227 N. 3rd St. (614-221-5418, madlab.net) at 10:30 pm, tonight, December 13th and Saturday December 14th.

The latest in the long running 3in30 series featuring WiFi Hunters and Gatherers, by Erik Sternberger, Gone in Three, by Brendan Michna, and The Treva Effect, by Austin Steinmetz. The evening is hosted by Hermy the Elf.

Tickets: $5 ($3 if you come see Wall: A Product of Resourcefulness and Efficiency in America's Never-Ending Battle for Absolute Supremacy and General All-Around Kick-Assedness at 8).

3 in 30: White Elephant Synopsis:

The latest edition of MadLab's 3 in 30 is White Elephant. 3 in 30 will present three original 10-minute plays based on the common theme of White Elephant. These are great shows that 3in30 didn't get to perform before because there were too many good shows and they can only do 3 at a time. Come early for Wall: A Product of Resourcefulness and Efficiency in America's Never-Ending Battle for Absolute Supremacy and General All-Around Kick-Assedness and then stick around for that classic holiday game, White Elephant, with your host, Hermy the Elf.

Shows being presented with this edition:

WiFi Hunters and Gatherers, by Erik Sternberger - It's a scramble to secure the modern essentials when a neighborhood loses its power and Internet.

Directed By Becky Horseman

Gone in Three, by Brendan Michna - Love is about savoring every moment like it may be your last.

Emily: Nikki Smith

1: Joe Liles

2: Brendan Michna

3: Jim Azelvandre

Directed by Brendan Michna with assistance from Michelle Batt

The Treva Effect, by Austin Steinmetz - Treva is the disaster you just can't resist.

Directed by Josh Kessler
