CANTON — The Culver-Stockton College Department of Theatre will showcase eight original, student-written works during a four-day run of staged readings beginning Thursday, Nov. 12, on the Canton campus. Performances are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, through Saturday, Nov. 14, followed by a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 15. All readings will take place in the Mabee Foundation Little Theatre, also known as the Black Box, inside the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. Admission is free and open to the public. According to Haidee Heaton, professor of theatre at Culver-Stockton, the production highlights original 10-minute plays developed by students enrolled in her spring 2026 playwriting course. “From the complexities of relationships and the challenges of growing up to unexpected twists, mysterious circumstances, and even ‘feline appearances,’ the collection promises audiences an entertaining and varied theatrical experience,” Heaton said.
