This year the Morningside Theatre department is stepping outside of the box and putting on a student produced play. The show “Blink of an Eye” was written by senior Theatre and Mass Communication, Engels Perez.
The show will run November 14th through November 17th. The reason this show is different than all the other shows Morningside has put on in the past is that the playwright, Perez, is very much involved in the entire process.
The director, Taylor Clemens, who is also the head of the Theatre Department, said, “Usually there are old productions that students and myself can pull from to get a sense of what the play is about and how it should run. The reason this one is so special is because it is the first time it is being performed, and we get to work side by side with Engels to make it come to life”

Perez started writing the script a couple years ago, and has been continuously working on getting it to performance ready. The end of his sophomore year, Perez, put on a table reading of the play, and then presented it to Clemens as something he would like to eventually put on.

This script is very dark, and has a lot of interesting technical elements that is going to make this experience entirely new and different from an audiences perspective.
