What is EngPlay? Well reader, EngPlay is, what you’ve probably already guessed, a play put on by engineering students. EngPlays have taken place in the second last month of the term for a long time. I like to think that they trace their roots back to the very beginning of our school’s existence, or perhaps the universe, though I can’t conclusively claim this.
To put EngPlay in a nutshell, imagine somewhere upwards of 10 students coming together, taking a tale that in its past may have been an epic written by the fathers of literature or the contrivance of some internet writer, it matters not, and determinedly working at making it as hilarious, profane, heart-warmingly silly, and ridiculous as one can possibly comprehend. Add to that a limited budget, varying levels of acting talent, home-made props, and conveniently cheap tickets.
So dear reader, if you’re currently wondering what extracurricular activities you’re going to get involved with in your first year, I advise you to come out to EngPlay auditions, which will be happening the second week of classes. Look for the posters. If you find yourself reading this article and thinking the acting world is not something for you, that’s alright too: you can come see the play!
