"The Living" is a tale of the power of courage and compassion. In 1665, the plague brought London to its knees.

Directed by COD Theater Department Chair Connie Canaday Howard, the script shares the stories of Londoners who have remained in the city as they struggle to find meaning amid a catastrophic epidemic.

Directed by College Theater Professor Amelia Barrett, "She Kills Monsters" is a dramatic, heart-pounding comedy and homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

The script provides a glimpse into the world of action-packed adventure in fantasy role-playing.
