Do you miss watching theatre? Want to support HOOLIGAN members who love performing? Then come check out our Annual Fall One Acts, hosted by our Casting department on Friday, December 4th at 5pm on Zoom! Watch as HOOLIGANs show you what they’ve been working on all quarter. Until then, read what some of what the HOOLIGANs involved have to say about One Acts!

But first, what is One Acts?

One Acts is a festival of short one act plays written, directed, and performed by our very own HOOLIGANs. This event is normally hosted in the Fall in the Kerckhoff Grand Salon, but going along with this season’s theme of Resilience, we will be continuing the yearly tradition and hosting this year’s One Acts over Zoom.

How has the process of online rehearsals been?

“It was good! It added levity to my otherwise packed weeks and was a nice time to decompress. I feel like my director made rehearsals super accessible and an all-around positive experience.” -
Nicole Anticona Araujo (Hester- Ex-Games), 3rd Year Sociology major and Double Film/Theater Minor

​

What has been your favorite part of directing a One Act?

“My favorite part has been seeing the finished product and thinking about how far we’ve come since we first started. It was so great working with the actors and giving them feedback and hearing their thoughts on whether they think their character would act this way. Seeing them bring the show to life was amazing and especially gratifying since Zoom made it hard to feel connected but they worked really hard and I’m really proud of what they’ve created.” -Jessica Egan (Director- Ex-Games), 3rd year American Literature and Culture major

​
What has been your favorite part of the process?

“My favorite part of the process has been exploring a character that represents a confrontational side of myself that I don’t often get to play as an actor. It has been a super fun test for me!” -Berk Uzman (Girl’s Want- I Just Wanna Talk), 2nd Year Gender Studies major and Double LGBTQ Studies/Theater minor


​





​​Is this your first time writing a One Act? What was the process like?

“Yes, this is my first time writing a One Act. Laura and I wrote it collaboratively so it was really nice to be able to bounce ideas back and forth during the whole process. We’d just write a little bit at a time, read it aloud to each other, and make little adjustments from there to make a joke funnier or clarify something about the plot until we were both happy with it.” -Korina Moriarty (Co-Writer- Ex-Games), 4th year Gender Studies & Musicology major






​
​
What are you most excited about for this year’s One Acts?

“I am most excited to get to see everyone’s hard work at the end! I feel like with this format of One Acts, there is so much more possibility in terms of editing in the final product that just can’t be done in a live show. Not to mention that I’m definitely going to enjoy watching One Acts from the comfort of my own bed. I will for sure be throwing my own pajama party.” -Miyu Roberts (Jules- Less than or Equal to), 2nd year Communications major


We’re so excited for you to join us in watching this year’s One Acts over Zoom this Friday (12/4) at 5 PM! Keep an eye out for the Zoom link which will be released closer to the event, see you there!

Are you interested in what goes on behind the scenes of theatrical productions? Do you like supporting our fabulous HOOLIGANs in their out-of-the-box endeavors? Then mark your calendars for this Friday, November 20th at 6pm, as our Production Management department presents its first ever Texpo: a technical design exposition, on the HOOLIGAN Youtube Channel! But until then, we’ve reached out to some of the HOOLIGANs involved to get you the inside scoop on Texpo!

But first, what is Texpo?
Texpo is a new event hosted by our Production Management department! Through a series of workshops on all the things that happen behind the scenes of a show, participants prepare their own design (in any department, from lighting to costumes and beyond) that fit the theme of “Young, Dumb, and Broke” to be premiered at this exposition. 

How did HOOLIGAN come up with the idea of Texpo? 
"The Production Management department came up with the initial concept during a brainstorming session last spring when we were thinking of ideas for tech to get involved in theater virtually. We wanted to create an event where people of any experience level could create and showcase their technical designs, as well as learn new skills and try new things. This initial idea was then developed into Texpo over the summer through meetings with HOOLIGAN's executive producers and the Production Management department, and we are proud to present it this fall!" -Kate Logan (Production Manager), 3rd year Undeclared major

Now, let's get to know some of our participants and workshop leaders!

What was your experience in theater before being a part of Texpo?

"Theater has been a part of my life for a long time. I saw my first show (Grease!) when I was 4 and then I started to act when I was 8. It wasn’t until high school that I got into the technical side through lighting. During high school, I worked at a variety of theaters to build up my skills to get into UCLA. HOOLIGAN’s production of Spring Awakening was the first major show for which I ever designed the lighting"! -Malcom Wilson ("How to Present!" Workshop Leader), 3rd year Theater major

How did you come to the conclusion of your project?
"In my own Texpo project, I am proposing a stage adaptation of my favorite childhood movie, Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. I went through the process of finding a script, watching the movie, taking notes on the scenes and mood, and making Pinterest boards." -Lisa Imai (Participant and Workshop Leader), 3rd year Environmental Science Major

What was your favorite part of the experience?
"I've loved seeing everyone's creative and original ideas! Some of our participants have gone for some out-of-the-box concepts that I'm so excited for everyone to see. Everyone is working on something interesting, unique, and that they're passionate about!" -Kate Logan (Production Manager), 3rd year Undeclared major


​We can't wait for you all to see our HOOLIGANs' unique designs, so make sure to check out their presentations this Friday! You won't want to miss it!
