Student Experimental Theatre to Perform Ben Slote’s “Calling Ida”

May 27, 2014 – Student Experimental Theatre at Allegheny College will present performances of “Calling Ida,” a one-act comedy by Professor of English Ben Slote, at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 30, and at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 31.

No tickets are necessary for the play, which will be performed in the Gladys Mullenix Black Theatre in the Vukovich Center for Communication Arts.

“Calling Ida” follows heroine Jeannie Pointer, Class of 2015, as she pursues her senior project. Will she make it to graduation with her wits and integrity intact? Not without help from Allegheny’s most illustrious alumna, Ida Tarbell – or at least Jeannie’s own inner Ida.
